Molecular and Clinical Profiles of Human Pegivirus Type 1 Infection in Individuals Living with HIV-1 in the Extreme South of Brazil

Figure 4

Box plots of the distribution of HIV-1 viral load median values (log scale) and CD4+ T-cell counts in HIV-1-infected individuals (linear scale). (a) Median values of the variables between HPgV-1 subtypes 2a and 2b (ART-naive subjects). (b) Median values of the variables between HPgV-1-positive and HPgV-1-negative (ART-naive subjects). (c) Median values of the variables among the different groups of HPgV-1 minimum persistence time in years: 0 to 4 years, 5 to 8 years, and 9 or more years. The differences between groups in (a) and (b) were calculated using the Mann-Whitney U-Test. Differences between groups in (c) were calculated using the analysis of variance (ANOVA).
