Editor’s summary
Our results show that gp120v3 and several specific amino acid changes in gp41 are associated together with CXCR4 and/or CCR5 usage. These findings implement previous observations that determinants of tropism may reside outside the V3-loop, even in the gp41.

Supplementing standard chemotherapy (C) with rituximab (R), which causes immunosuppression and thus potentially increases the risk of infection, improves end of treatment outcomes in lymphoma patients but thankfully does not increase the overall incidence of severe infection.
