Assessment of study rigour.
a<p>Where no information is available “not specified” is indicated for these variables, as we considered it possible that these activities were done but not reported in the paper.</p>b<p>Some studies offered testing but results were not promised, e.g., results available only if client sought the result separately; some studies were entirely blinded, e.g., where testing was done for anonymous population HIV prevalence estimation.</p

<i>In silico</i> model of HIV infection.
<p>(A): The <i>in silico</i> experiments are performed in a 3-dimensional ellipsoidal lattice. The lattice represents a lymph node with a volume of 4 microliters. Each lattice point represents a microscopic volume in which stochastic interactions occur between the modeled entities. Some of the entities in the model are shown in the sketch: CD4+ T-lymphocytes, B-lymphocytes, antibodies (Ab), macrophages (MA), dendritic cells (DC) and interferon γ.(B): The interactions between the main cellular compartments in the adaptive immune response. This network describes the adaptive immune response to HIV, that in our model is simulated by a three dimensional agent-based model of a lymph node. The virus can be in two forms: free virus (infectious virions) and viral genome copies contained in both silently and actively infected cells (provirus). The complexity of this network does not lie in its topology but rather is hidden in the complex spatio-temporal interactions (arrows) between the nodes.</p
