     This fundamental, clearly written, and timely manuscript links the timing of ART with the kinetics of total and intact proviral HIV DNA. The conclusions are interesting and novel, and the importance of the work is high because the focus is on African women and clade C virus, both of which are understudied in the HIV reservoir field. The strength of the evidence is compelling. Overall, this work will be of very high interest to scientists and clinicians in the HIV cure/persistence fields.
