The original version of this Article contained an error for the ‘RPP30-Shear Forward Primer sequence’ provided in the ‘Intact Proviral DNA Assay (IPDA)’ section of the Methods, which incorrectly read ‘CCAATTTGCTGCTCCTTGGG’. The correct sequence of the ‘RPP30-Shear Forward Primer’ is ‘CCATTTGCTGCTCCTTGGG’. This has been corrected in both the PDF and HTML versions of the Article.
