ID, identification; NA, not available; CSF, cerebrospinal fluid; PBMCs, peripheral blood mononuclear cells.

a

Patient discontinued the study at week 12.

b

Lumbar puncture optional at baseline.

c

Female or transgender: no sperm sample possible.

d

Missing data.

e

The limit of quantification in seminal fluid is 40 copies/mL because of sample dilution.

f

HIV‐1 DNA and the single‐copy host gene C‐C chemokine receptor type 5 (CCR5) were quantified by digital droplet polymerase chain reaction in parallel. Cell counts are displayed as genomic equivalents as defined by two CCR5 copies per genomic equivalent (cell).
