abstract：:In early human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, the virus population escapes from multiple CD8(+) cell responses. The later an escape mutation emerges, the slower it outgrows its competition, i.e., the escape rate is lower. This pattern could indicate that the strength of the CD8(+) cell responses is waning, or...
