CD4 and HIV infectious disease: First, we aimed to determine the proportion of CD4+ T cells expressing the CD20 molecule during HIV infection in samples from 21 ART-suppressed patients (<50 copies/ml of plasma viral load, VL; median time on suppressive ART 48 months), 20 HIV-viremic patients (median VL 119,000 copies/ml) and 6 uninfected control donors.
