Table 3

Virological status in different CD4⁺ T cell count groups. The number and the percentages of the patients out of total patients in the designated CD4⁺ T cell count groups. With increasing CD4⁺ T cell count, the percentage of patients with virological suppression was reported to be increasing (Pearson correlation, ). VL: viral load.
