A) The association of age group, gender and circulating filarial antigen (CFA) with HIV positivity. Adjusted Odds Ratio (OR) derived from logistic regression model. B) Geometric mean concentration (GMC) of CFA in those CFA positive. Geometric mean ratio (GMR) derived from linear regression model. C) Microfilaria (MF) count in those CFA positive expressed as median and interquartile range, difference assessed by rank sum testing owing to the skewed nature of data. †CI—confidence interval; # adjusted for age, sex and village location Baseline characteristics of Study 1 participants by HIV status.
