Covariates included in all models were immune status at baseline, age, African-American, baseline HAART use, and change in HAART use during the study. For RNA (log10) (all), levels that were not detectable were set to the limit of detection (LOD) as LOD/√2. All overall models were significant at P < 0.001, with the exception of RNA (log10) (detectable only) at 12 mo which was not significant.

Sample sizes for baseline and 12 months, respectively: n = 54 and 47, RNA (log10) (all);

n = 23 and 19, RNA (log10) (detectable at baseline only);
