Of HIV-positive participants, 2,103 have at least one plasma sample available, 1,212 have at least three serial plasma samples, and 1,488 have at least one CSF sample available. These numbers change as new samples are added and some of the collected samples are distributed. Please refer to our COHORT REPORTS PowerPoint presentation for more complete details.
