Correlations (Spearman’s rho) of cycle threshold (Ct) values of the real-time PCRs targeting the S. mansoni complex and S. haematobium complex with the HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) viral load and CD4+ (CD = cluster of differentiation) cell count.

	CD4+ T Cell Count n, rho, p Value	Viral Load n, rho, p Value
S. mansoni complex specific real-time PCR	35, 0.1521, 0.3830	34, −0.4697, 0.0051
S. haematobium complex specific real-time PCR	5, −0.8, 0.1041	3, 1.0000, <0.001

n = total number. rho = Speraman’s rho indicating correlation.
