Least squares means, a potentially better estimate of the true population mean for each neuroimaging measure by HIV status and 95% CIs, adjusted for age, intracranial volume, and scanner type. Subscript indicates degrees of freedom for the t-statistic.

Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval; HIV, human immunodeficiency virus.
