Study MMR vaccine administered at study week 16. Immunologic strata are as follows: stratum 2, pre-HAART nadir CD4 cell percentage <15% and screening CD4 cell percentage ≥15%; stratum 3, pre-HAART nadir CD4 cell percentage 15% to <25% and screening CD4 cell percentage ≥15%; stratum 4, pre-HAART nadir CD4 cell percentage ≥25% and screening CD4 cell percentage ≥25%.

Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval; HAART, highly active antiretroviral therapy; MMR, measles-mumps-rubella vaccine; PRN, plaque reduction neutralization antibody concentration.

a Week 0 serological results were included if obtained any time prior to study MMR vaccine administration. Serological results at 8, 32, and 80 weeks post-vaccination (study weeks 24, 48, and 96) were included if they were obtained within windows of ±4, ±8, and ±12 weeks, respectively.

b P = .01 (Fisher's exact test) for the difference of the proportions with measles antibody concentration ≥8 mIU/mL among immune strata.

c P < .001 (Fisher's exact test) for the difference of the proportions with measles antibody concentration ≥120 mIU/mL among immune strata. Pairwise comparisons between stratum 4 and strata 2 and 3 were statistically significant (P ≤ .007), but pairwise comparisons between strata 2 and 3 were not.

d P ≤ .004 (McNemar test) for the comparison of the proportion of subject with measles antibody concentration ≥120 mIU/mL vs the previous time point.

e P ≤ .04 (McNemar test) for the comparison of the proportions of subjects with measles antibody concentration ≥120 mIU/mL at 32 weeks postvaccination (study week 48) and 80 weeks postvaccination (study week 96) vs week 0.

f P < .001 (t test) for the difference among immune strata. Pairwise comparisons between stratum 4 and strata 2 and 3 were statistically significant (P < .001), but pairwise comparisons between strata 2 and 3 were not.

g P ≤ .02 (paired t test) for the comparison of geometric mean antibody concentration vs the previous timepoint.

h P < .001 (paired t test) for the comparison of geometric mean antibody concentration at 32 weeks postvaccination (study week 48) and 80 weeks postvaccination (study week 96) vs week 0.
