HIV-1 viral loads vs. time.

<p>This scatter plot shows each HIV viral load measurement (copies/ml on y-axis) vs. time (x-axis) with a vertical line dividing the RT-PCR (□ per each value) from bNDA (▵ per each value) time periods. In this figure, undetectable viral loads are censored to 49 copies/ml for the RT-PCR period and to 74 copies/ml for the bDNA period.</p

Mean censored viral loads and coefficients of variation.

*<p>Value not calculated because RT-PCR LLOQ = 50 copies/ml, so for RT-PCR for values>50 actual, rather than censored values used in calculating means. We do not report tests of statistical significance comparing censored mean pVLs, since the required left-sided censoring (i.e. undetectable = 49, 74 or 1 copy/ml) is unlikely to reflect the true distribution of pVL values below the LLOQ.</p
