Distribution of age, viral load, CD4 count at the time of diagnosis, nadir CD4, and ASAT in a population of HIV+ French Guianese patients^*

	HTLV1– (N = 1333)	HTLV1+ (N = 76)	P
Age in years: mean (standard deviation)	44.05 (12.99)	51.87 (14.29)	P < 0.0001†
Viral load with treatment in copies/mL: median (interquartile range)	30 (208)	47 (7580)	P = 0.0178‡
CD4 count at the time of the diagnosis in number/mm3: median (interquartile range)	316 (364.7)	376 (363.2)	P = 0.02‡
Nadir CD4 in number/mm3: médiane (interquartile range)	159.7 (236)	196.6 (237.7)	P = 0.15‡
ASAT in IU/L: median (interquartile range)	23 (13)	27 (12)	P = 0.02‡
