Table 3. Factors associated with pVL level (log10 copies/ml) at 4 weeks after ART stop (from adjusted linear regression model*).

Coefficient (95% CI) P
PHI, versus chronically-infected −0.45 (−0.64, −0.26) <0.001
Age at ART stop, per 10 years 0.01 (−0.04, 0.07) 0.6
Sex/risk group, vs men infected through sex with men <0.001
Male, infected through sex with women −0.14 (−0.30, 0.03)
Female, infected through sex with men −0.33 (−0.47, −0.20)
CD4 count at ART stop, per 100 cells/mm3 −0.02 (−0.04, 0.002) 0.08
Constant** 4.26 (4.18, 4.34) -

CI = confidence interval. pVL = plasma viral load. Coefficients are interpreted as the value of log10 copies/ml lower pVL for a negative sign, and higher for a positive sign.

*

Adjusted for factors in the table.

**

Mean week 4 pVL for a chronically-infected male infected through sex with men, aged 40 years and with CD4 600 cells/mm3 at ART stop.
