<p><b>A.</b> Design of the experiment. <b>B.</b> Groups of mice were gavaged with cART or vehicle before and during infection with indicated viruses or vehicle. At day 21 after infection, mice were tested for errors (left panel) and latency (middle panel) in finding the hidden platform, the right panel shows latency to reach the visible platform. RT represents the retention trial. <b>C.</b> Two days after completion of RAWM, the same mice were used to test contextual response to fear conditioning training. The percentage of freezing time was calculated for contextual fear memory deficit in each group of mice. <b>D.</b> Mice were euthanized on day 40 after infection and levels of total vDNA in spleen and brain measured by QPCR (left panel) and integrated viral DNA measured by nested QPCR in PM (right panel). All data are mean ± standard errors. *<i>P</i><0.05, **<i>P</i><0.01, ***<i>P</i><0.001 EcoHIV vs. EcoHIV+cART; <sup>#</sup><i>P</i><0.05, <sup>##</sup>P<0.01, <sup>###</sup><i>P</i><0.001 EcoHIV vs. MLV.</p
