Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| HIV progression from acute infection to viral suppression | 2 years | Outcomes will depend on scientists who use the samples for further study |
| HIV progression and control by elite and viremic suppressors | 2 years | Outcomes will depend on scientists who use the samples for study |
