Detection of HIV-1 DNA in a subset of vaginal swabs from HPTN 035

| HIV-1 DNAc | n (%) | n (%) | n (%) | median (range) copies/sample |
| Undetectable | 110 (100%) | 10 (100%) | 13 (50%) | - |
| Detected, Quantifiable | 0 | 0 | 5 (25%) | 141 (55–1593) |

a
Swab sample collected from participant who remained seronegative at study termination.
b
Swab sample collected from participant who was seronegative at time of sample collection, but seropositive at study termination.
c
Each sample was run in triplicate and considered “undetectable” if all three reactions had no amplification, “detected, quantifiable” if at least 2/3 reactions had one or more copies detected per reaction and “detected, not quantifiable” if only 1/3 reactions had one or more copies detected.
