    Differences in HIV-1 reservoir size, landscape characteristics, and decay dynamics in acute and chronic treated HIV-1 Clade C infection

    Kavidha Reddy, Guinevere Q Lee ... Thumbi Ndung'u
    Extremely early antiretroviral therapy during HIV-1 subtype C infection leads to faster decline in genome-intact viruses, reduced genetic complexity, and immune escape, and may enhance reservoir clearance with additional interventional strategies.
