Multivariable CD4 categories based on CDC’s 2014 and 2008 case definitions for stages of HIV infection (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 2014; Schneider et al., 2008)

^**

Multivariable logistic regression model included the CD4 category of interest (for CD4 lymphocyte counts or CD4 percent values), age (as a continuous variable), sex, duration of breast feeding (as a continuous variable) and method of membrane rupture (spontaneous or induced/artificial)
