Student’s T-Test

Adjusting for age and baseline measures.

Definitions: HIV-1 RNA viral load results were closest to baseline, defined as 0 – 90 days prior to baseline log transformed, continuous. CD4 results were closest to baseline, defined as 0 – 90 days prior to baseline (cells/μl), continuous. Duration of ART prior to baseline (months), (continuous, naïve patients have zero months). Baseline exposure to antiretroviral therapy is defined as naïve to ART, ART-experienced and currently on therapy, or ART-experienced and not currently on therapy. AIDS-defining event (clinical diagnosis) at baseline, dichotomous, 0 = no, 1 = yes)
