English term or phrase: replication

"Nucleoside analogs inhibit HIV reverse transcriptase and decrease or prevent HIV *replication* in infected cells".
Lo que necesito saber es si la traducción MÉDICA adecuada es replicación o multiplicación. Mis fuentes incluyen ambos términos pero quisiera saber si uno es más adecuado que otro o si pueden utilizarse indistintamente. Ya busqué en Internet y en los glosarios de Proz, pero no encontré nada definitivo, ni aclaratorio. ¡Gracias de antemano por su ayuda!

replicación

Explanation:
Hola Rosa,

Esto no es definitivo tampoco pero te puede dar una idea. "Replicación" se usa comunmente con ADN, y comparando aparece más veces "replicación del HIV" que "multiplicación del HIV".

Grace.
