Schematic representation of the time course of HIV infection in Adaku over a 3-month period. The graph plots four parameters against time: HIV RNA copy number (viral load), CD4 T-cell count, anti-HIV Env antibody levels, and anti-HIV Gag (p24) antibody levels. The initial weeks post-infection show a spike in viral load, a decrease in CD4 T-cell counts, and an eventual emergence of antibodies against the HIV Env and Gag proteins. The subsequent weeks, especially with the introduction of ART, depict a decline in viral load and a recovery of CD4 T-cell counts.
