A Compartmental Analysis of HIV Reservoirs and Immune Reconstitution (C)

The aim of this study is to find out if the process of HIV replication in the lymph tissue and gut tissue of people taking HIV drugs causes long-term damage to the ability of the gut to protect you from other infections and health problems.
