How should one refer to intrahost HIV diversity? I've always used "quasispecies" but I recall reading that this has a specific evolutionary connotations that doesn't match that of HIV.
Perhaps @ElEarlyBird or @K_G_Andersen can straighten me out here?
I think you just said it - “intrahost HIV diversity” 
. You could also refer to a “viral cloud” if necessary - but I typically just mention intrahost diversity (intrahost single nucleotide variants - or ‘iSNVs’ (my proudest contribution to science..))

*I* would do that. I'm co-authoring a paper and they've included this term. I'm looking for the underlying reason why one should avoid the term so as to hopefully convince them not to include it.

You should avoid using it because
@edwardcholmes says so - and Eddie knows best. Here's a good little commentary outlining some of the considerations: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20493194 - Nog 4 antwoorden
