Correction: David Ho interview, October 1994 issue.

Gay Men's Health Crisis "Treatment Issues", Vol 8, No. 10, November, 1994


A wandering zero garbled one of the questions and answers in last month's interview with David Ho. The question concerned measurements of blood levels of HIV by PCR or bDNA. Here is the corrected passage from the article:

Treatment Issues: What does it really mean if you have a level of 200,000?

David Ho: Well, obviously, the lower the better. But let's say that it is on the order of 10,000 to 20,000. That is, relatively speaking, pretty low. Whereas if you begin to have levels of 100,000, that's pretty rampant viral replication, and I would do something to control that.
