Fig 1. Concentration of BLyS/BAFF in cervicovaginal lavage (CVL) supernatants of HIV-1 uninfected non-CSW, HESN and HIV-1 infected CSW women.
Concentrations of BLyS/BAFF (pg/ml) in CVL supernatants were compared with Mann Whitney U test for pair-wise comparisons between HESN and the two other groups. Data are presented as mean ± SD. Significance levels are shown as *(p < 0.05). HIV, human immunodeficiency virus; CSW, commercial sex worker; HESN, HIV Highly-Exposed Seronegative; SD, standard deviation.
