HIV viral loads in five compartments of patients with primary infection. HIV RNA was estimated in plasma (PL), saliva (SAL), and seminal fluid (SF) expressed in log₁₀ copies/ml. HIV DNA was quantified in PBMCs (WB) and non-spermatozoid cells (NSC) and expressed in log₁₀ copies/10⁶ PBMCs or cells, respectively. P: patient.
