For this study, large quantities of PBMCs were collected by leukapheresis from HIV-uninfected controls (HIV-; median CD4 counts: 852 cells/μl; Table 1) and two categories of HIV-infected subjects: relatively recently infected viremics untreated (RI; median plasma viral load 14,454 HIV-RNA copies/ml; median CD4 counts 455 cells/μl; median time since infection 16 months; Table 2) and chronically infected receiving viral suppressive ART (CI on ART; plasma viral load <50 HIV-RNA copies/ml, median CD4 counts 592 cells/μl, and median time since infection 156 months; Table 3). This evidence concerns the gene CD4 and infection.
