is the average year when immunological failure occurs for the 1000 random samples and the respective standard deviation . is the number of cases that do not experience immunological failure after 30 years postinfection. *Star represents a statistically significant difference with respect to the group of years (). There is a significant difference between SWATCH and SVF for all the groups when .
