Note. PSS = perceived social support; SLE = stressful life events; HSV-1 = herpes simplex virus type 1; EBV-VCA = Epstein-Barr virus viral capsid antigen; EBV-EA = Epstein-Barr virus early antigen. Covariates, including sex, race/ethnicity, marital status, age, socioeconomic status, health conditions, body mass index, depressive symptoms, smoking, physical activity, and sleep, were controlled for each moderation model.
