Estimated values for the key parameters of the stochastic viral dynamics model

Parameter	Symbol	Estimation method	Ref(s).	Best estimate	Distribution*
LR decay rate	δ	Long-term ART, δ = ln(2)/τ1/2	(3, 4)	5.2 × 10−4 d−1	δ ∼ $\mathcal{N}$(5.2, 1.6) × 10−4 d−1
LR exit rate	A	Viral rebound after ART interruption	(5, 58)	57 cells d−1	log10(A) ∼ $\mathcal{N}$(1.76, 1.0)
Growth rate	r			0.4 d−1	log10(r) ∼ $\mathcal{N}$(−0.40, 0.19)
Establishment probability	PEst	Population genetic modeling	(59, 60)	0.069	Composite distribution (Materials and Methods)

*Notation $X\sim \mathcal{N}\left(\mu ,\sigma \right)$ means that X is a random variable drawn from a normal distribution with mean μ and SD σ.
