(B) Longitudinal viral load differences of women with (gray shaded) and without (white) a postpartum viral load decline of 1 log₁₀ or more by 3-mo postpartum (Mann–Whitney U test). Boxes indicate median and interquartile range (IQR); whiskers indicate range. (C) Third trimester and 3-mo postpartum viral load in five subjects followed through first (solid line) and second (dashed line) pregnancies. P value summary: ns, P ≥ 0.05; *P < 0.05; ****P < 0.0001.
