Table 2.

Viral loads assigned to each model compartment. PVL, CVL and MVL measures were computed using the estimates for the average VLs in undiagnosed $(I_{k})$ , diagnosed untreated $(D_{k})$ and treated $(A_{k})$ compartments for stage $k$ of infection, where $k = 1$ (primary infection), 2 (chronic infection), 3 and 4 (AIDS). VL values were always $l o g_{10}$ -transformed. All VL measures were shown on the logarithmic scale.
