cART started at 2 vs 4 weeks post infection

Caption

Lung tissue of animals with TB that started cART two weeks post SIV infection (left) versus at four weeks post SIV infection (right). There are far fewer green spots on the left, which indicate fewer macrophages are dying and latent TB is kept more under control, thanks to starting cART earlier. Red spots are also macrophages.
