Longitudinal assessment of HIV infection in CD4⁺ T cells and monocytes. (A) Number of cells at each time point measured by PCR in sorted CD4⁺ T cells (left) and monocytes (right) in five individuals in whom HIV DNA was previously detected (either at baseline or after 1 year of ART) in the monocyte fraction. (B) Levels of integrated HIV DNA in CD4⁺ T cells (left) and monocytes (right) were assessed longitudinally in five individuals in whom HIV DNA was previously detected (either at baseline or after 1 year of ART) in the monocyte fraction. The levels of HIV DNA in monocytes were adjusted for CD4⁺ T-cell contamination. Only samples in which a minimum of 10,000 cells were analyzed were included. Each individual’s data are color-coded.
