“Our new understanding of HIV pathogenesis is that the virus is replicating throughout the course of disease.”

“The HIV infection in an individual is a very dynamic process with billions of viral particles being produced every day and, on the same end, billions of viral particles being cleared from the system.”

Robert Murphy, MD
Northwestern University Medical School

“Our goal should be to maximally suppress viral replication as early as possible and for as long as possible.”

John Mellors, MD
University of Pittsburgh Medical Center
