| Method | The frequency of HIV RNA+ cells was counted by direct microscopic observation, using a calibrated ocular grid, by an observer blinded to the other analyses performed on the same specimen. The frequency of individual vRNA+ cells was counted in multiple adjacent sections, and the total area occupied by lymphoid tissue and density of cells was determined in each section. |
