The original version of this Article contained an error in the third and fourth sentence of the Methods section under heading ‘SHIV challenge study in rhesus macaques’, which incorrectly read ‘The final challenge stock was diluted to 10 TCID50 and stored individually as 1mL aliquots in liquid nitrogen and thawed prior to each rectal challenge. In this model, untreated control rhesus macaques exposed to 10 TCID50 of SHIV162p3 are infected after a median of two challenges56,57.’ The correct version now reads ‘The final challenge stock was diluted to 37 TCID50 and stored individually as 1mL aliquots in liquid nitrogen and thawed prior to each rectal challenge. In this model, untreated control rhesus macaques exposed to 37 TCID50 of SHIV162p3 are infected after a median of two challenges, consistent with previously used SHIV challenges56, 57.’
