The proportion of CD38⁺ Tcm can predict total HIV DNA in CD4⁺ T cells. a Purity of CD4⁺ T cells sorted from PBMC obtained from HIV-infected individuals under at least 5 years ART. Numbers show percentages of CD4⁺ T cells. Correlations between total HIV DNA detected in CD4⁺ T cells and the percentage of CD4⁺CD38⁺ Tcm cells (b) or CD4⁺CD38⁻ Tcm cells (c). Spearman’s rank test; n = 18 donors
