Analysis of association between HIV disease history and Gag-specific CD8 T-cell proliferation in aviremic patients.

a Analysis was performed by logistic regression
b adjusted for variables included in the model. The following variables with P values < 0.20 in univariate analysis were not included in the model, because of their associations with other independent variables: age at the time of the study was associated with age at nadir CD4 T-cell percentage; CD4 T-cell percentage, nadir CD4 T-cell percentage and duration for which CD4 T-cell percentage <15 were associated with ethnicity
c Virions using CCR5 as a coreceptor are referred to as R5 virions, whereas those CXCR4 as a coreceptor and dual-tropic viruses are referred to as X4R5 virions
d expressed in years
e expressed in log10 copies per 106 PBMCs
f expressed as a percentage of total CD4 T cells
g expressed as a percentage of total CD8 T cells
h expressed as a percentage of naive CD4 T cells
i expressed in months
j expressed in days x log10 HIV-RNA copies/ml of plasma.
