Evaluation of peripheral blood CD4+ T cells and viral load throughout SIV infection and statin treatment. (a) CD4+ T cells of SIV-infected macaques comparing SIV/Untreated Group 1 vs SIV/Statin Group 2 or SIV/Statin Group 3. (b) Viral load. Data represents the mean ± SD. Differences in CD4+ T cells and viral load were analyzed by repeated measures mixed modeling. CD4+ T cells statistically differed between SIV/Untreated Group 1 vs SIV/Statin Group 2 at 1 week post-infection (*P = 0.02) and 3 weeks post-infection (†P = 0.0003).
