Correlation between GBV-C viral loads and the CD4+ T-cell counts at the chronic stage (12 months post-HIV-1 acquisition) of HIV-1 infection in Chinese MSM subjects (n = 26, one case started ART 3 months after acquiring HIV-1 and was excluded from the analysis). The correlation was still positive but no longer significant (r = 0·09, P = 0·67). The x-axis represents the GBV-C viral loads (log copies/ml). The y-axis represents the CD4 cell counts (cells/mm3). The significance level was set at 0·05 in the linear regression analysis.
