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.
