a
The statistical significance of the difference between the ratios of male to female individuals for the HIV-1-infected and uninfected groups was calculated using Fisher's exact test. P = 0.65.
b
The statistical significance of the difference between the age ranges of the HIV-1-infected and uninfected groups was calculated using the Mann-Whitney test. P = 0.14.
c
Values are medians (ranges). N/A, not applicable.
