Level of CD8 T Lymphocytes Activation in HIV-Infected Pregnant Women: In the Context of CD38 and HLA-DR Activation Markers

Table 4

Relationship between CD8/HLA-DR, CD8/38, and the CD4⁺ cell counts (statistical analysis by Pearson correlation (Sig. (2 tailed))).

CD8/HLA-DR % (A)	Counts (B)	Nonpregnant		Pregnant
		Correlation coefficient (𝑟)	𝑃 value	Correlation coefficient (𝑟)	𝑃 values
	CD8/38 %	𝑟=0.999^∗∗	<0.001	𝑟=0.876^∗∗	<0.001
	Absolute CD4	𝑟=−0.470^∗∗	0.004	𝑟=−0.056	0.746
	CD4 %	𝑟=−0.153	0.374	𝑟=−0.022	0.898

A: CD8⁺/HLA-DR cellular immune activation markers; B: CD8/CD38 and CD4 cell counts.
**Correlation is significant at the 0.01 level (2 tailed).
