P value by Wilcoxon rank sum test.

**

hs-cTnT values were not measured for 6 participants (4 PHIV, 2 PHEU).

IQR=interquartile range (25th, 75th percentiles); NT-proBNP=N-terminal-pro-brain natriuretic peptide; hsCRP=high-sensitivity C-reactive protein; hs-cTnT=high-sensitivity cardiac troponin-T; TNF-α=tumor necrosis factor-α; sTNF RII=soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor Type II; IL=interleukin.
