Cell-associated HIV-1 RNA from breast milk and blood derived CD4+ T cell culture supernatants. HIV-1 RNA was quantitated in cell-free culture supernatant following 18 hours of incubation. Results from breast milk and blood cells were separated according to the detection of plasma HIV-1 RNA. Dotted line indicates the lower limit of quantification of the test (60 HIV-1 RNA copies/ml). The cell-associated HIV-1 RNA levels were similar between aviremic and viremic individuals in breast milk-derived cells but were lower in blood-derived cells from aviremic individuals by comparison with viremic individuals (Mann Whitney U test).
