a

The analysis included 90 patients who restarted NNRTI-based ART without a protease inhibitor and had at least one viral load measurement in the 4–12 months after re-starting therapy.

b

As noted above some patients had the viral load measured by assays with a lower limit of quantification of either 75 or 400 copies/ml. NNRTI = non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor; ART = antiretroviral therapy; OR = Odds ratio; CI = confidence interval.
