The effect of recombination on survival of activated latent HIV in the plasma population.

<p>A) Simulations without recombination. B) Simulations with recombination. Grey lines show the proportion of virus with latent genomic fragments in the productively infected cell population of individual simulations, where the bold green line is the mean proportion and the thin green lines outline the 95% confidence envelope. Comparing panels A and B, clearly shows that recombination facilitates survival of latent forms.
