Blood HIV-1 DNA load (expressed as log ₁₀ copies/μg DNA) stratified by antiretroviral regimens. (A) Changes of HIV-1 DNA (expressed as log₁₀ copies/μg DNA) versus baseline according to antiretroviral regimens in vaccinees (NNRTI- or NRTI-based n = 102; PI-based n = 45) or OBS subjects (NNRTI- or NRTI-based n = 36; PI-based n = 26). (B) Changes of HIV-1 DNA versus baseline in vaccinees of each treatment group stratified according to ARV regimens (7.5 μg, 3x n = 38; 7.5 μg, 5x n = 37; 30 μg, 3x n = 37; 30 μg, 5x n = 35). The dotted lines represent the 99% confidence interval of HIV-1 DNA mean change from baseline (−0.21, 0.04 log₁₀ copies/μg) 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).
