Blood HIV-1 DNA load (expressed as log ₁₀ copies/10 ⁶ CD4 ⁺ T cells) stratified by antiretroviral regimens. (A) Changes of HIV-1 DNA (expressed as log₁₀ copies/10⁶ CD4⁺ T cells) in vaccinees (NNRTI- or NRTI-based n = 97; PI-based n = 45) or OBS subjects (NNRTI- or NRTI-based n = 30; PI-based n = 24). (B) Changes of HIV-1 DNA in vaccinees of each treatment group stratified according to ARV regimens (7.5 μg, 3x n = 36; 7.5 μg, 5x n = 36; 30 μg, 3x n = 36; 30 μg, 5x n = 34). The dotted lines represent the 99% confidence interval of HIV-1 DNA mean change from baseline (−0.24, 0.02 log₁₀ copies/10⁶ CD4⁺ T cells) in OBS subjects (all time points). In all panels data are presented as mean values with standard error. Median time of follow-up was 96 weeks for vaccinees and 120 weeks for OBS subjects. A longitudinal analysis for repeated measurements was applied. P-values assess the values at each week after immunization versus baseline values stratified by drug regimens (NNRTI/NRTI- or PI-based).
