Table 4.

Results for which regional brain volumes are smaller for HIV+ individuals with DNP compared to HIV+ individuals without DNP and HIV+ individuals with larger DNP ratings. As described in Table 1, statistical models #1 and #2 investigate regional brain volumes smaller for HIV+ individuals with DNP compared to HIV+ individuals without DNP, while statistical models #3 and #4 investigate regional brain volumes which are smaller for HIV+ individuals with larger DNP ratings
