Effects of plasma HIV-1 load, CD4+ T cell count and BAFF amount on the Ugandan cohort participants’ median viral load and median values of parameters b and θ.

In cohort participants, median viral load detected via qPCR and values of parameters b and θ are influenced by the CD4+ T cell count, HIV-1 plasma viral load, and the amount of BAFF in serum. The fold-change (FC) in participants’ median viral load, or model-fit b and θ values for every log10 increase in HIV-1 RNA copies/mL, every 100 CD4+ T cell/mm3 increase, and every 100 pg/ml increase in BAFF is shown. Note that data on CD4+ T cell count and HIV-1 RNA was only available for HIV-1 coinfected participants.
