Table 3. Characteristics of ART-suppressed group over time.

	Pre-ART (N = 15)	First timepoint (N = 15)	Second timepoint (N = 15)
Age (Yrs)	47 (25–60)	50 (32–61)	56 (34–64)
Years infected	6 (1–16)	10 (6–20)	13 (7–23)
CD4 count/µL	226 (36–573)	482 (300–1079) **	462 (363 −1507) **, !
CD8 count/µL	655 (476–1653)!	1023 (484–1662)	828 (353–2192)
CD4∶CD8 ratio	0.20 (0.07–0.44)!	0.44 (0.21–1.52) **	0.60(0.18–2.30) **, !
Log viral load	4.74 (3.88–>5.70)	1.88 **	1.88 **
Yrs on suppressive ART	N/A	3.7(1.0–6.9)	5.5 (3.7–9.5)

For three subjects, CD8+ T cell counts were not available at the pre-ART timepoint. Thus, CD8+ T cell count and CD4∶CD8 ratio at the pre-ART timepoint is based on 12 subjects.

^** = p<0.001 compared with pre-ART timepoint.

^! = p = 0.02 when compared with first on-ART timepoint.
