Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Quasi Species That Rebound after Discontinuation of Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy Are Similar to the Viral Quasi Species Present before Initiation of Therapy

Abstract excerpt

In an effort to identify the sources of the viruses that emerge after discontinuation of therapy, analyses of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) quasi species were done for 3 patients with sustained levels of HIV RNA of <50 copies/mL for 1-3 years.
