Figure 2. Univariate Analysis of Blood HIV RNA Levels and Neuropsychological Performance.
Confidence Ellipses (Global Rating vs. Plasma Viral Load) for individuals without antiretroviral resistance (ARβ) (rho = 0.25, p = 0.10) and individuals with antiretroviral resistance (AR+) (rho = β0.16, p = 0.29) demonstrate that although not statistically significant, the correlation between global rating and plasma viral load is stronger in individuals without antiretroviral resistance than in individuals with antiretroviral resistance. To exclude any direct ART effect, this analysis excluded participants on ART at the time of the study.
