Median CMV IgG levels (IU/mL) stratified by HCV RNA status, age tertile, and HIV treatment status among CMV-seropositive women.

aWomen who were HCVAb+/HCV RNA+ at enrollment were defined to be HCV RNA+ while those who were HCV Ab+/HCV RNA- and HCVAb- at enrollment were defined to be HCV RNA-. Follow-up HCV RNA testing was conducted on all women who were HCVAb+ at enrollment and HCV RNA status was 100% concordant between enrollment and follow-up testing. Follow-up testing of HCVAb- women was not conducted (see Laboratory Methods and Discussion).
bP values calculated using Mann-Whitney tests.
cAge tertiles. Low: <37.6; Middle: 37.6–45.3; High: >45.3. The low and middle age tertiles were combined because of the small number of HCV RNA positive women in the low age tertile.
