| 200–499 | 2.11 (1.20 – 3.71) | 0.01 |
| ≥500 | Referent | |
|

| HIV VL category (copies/mL) | ||
| ≤400 | 0.13 (0.03 – 0.55) | <0.01 |
| >400 | 0.66 (0.33 – 1.35) | 0.26 |
| Unknown | Referent | |
|

DTH, delayed-type hypersensitivity; HR, hazard ratio; CI, confidence interval; VL, viral load; HBV, hepatitis B virus; anti-HBs, antibody to HBV surface antigen
Gender, year of vaccination, and receiving ART at vaccination, were all not significantly associated with AIDS or death risk in preliminary models
