FIG 3.

Ratios of intact and defective HIV RNA to DNA. The copies/10⁶ cells of intact and defective HIV RNA were divided by the copies/10⁶ cells of total (containing Psi and/or RRE) HIV DNA (A) or the corresponding type of HIV DNA (B) to express the HIV RNA/DNA ratio (y axis). Each color represents a different individual. Samples in which either intact HIV RNA or DNA was not detected were assigned a maximum value (set to 1 copy divided by the total cell equivalents analyzed) in order to calculate the maximum (inverted triangle) or minimum (triangle) HIV RNA/DNA levels. Bars represent the medians. ** indicates P < 0.005 (Wilcoxon signed-rank test).
