Variable effect of co-infection on the HIV infectivity: Within-host dynamics and epidemiological significance
19 Mar 2012
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Recent studies have implicated viral characteristics in accounting for the variation in the HIV set-point viral load (spVL) observed among individuals. These studies have suggested that the spVL might be a heritable factor. The spVL, however, is not in an absolute equilibrium state; it is frequently perturbed by immune activations generated by co-infections, resulting in a significant amplification of...
