From: Cellular HIV-1 DNA levels in patients receiving antiretroviral therapy strongly correlate with therapy initiation timing but not with therapy duration

Figure 2

Correlation between HIV-1 DNA levels and CD4 cell counts at the time of sampling. (A) Negative correlation between the relative amounts and CD4 cell counts at the time of sampling. Spearman's rank test was used for statistical analysis. Spearman's correlation coefficients (ρ) and p-values are indicated in the figure. The straight line (y = 2.12 - 0.00103x, p = 0.01) was calculated using linear regression analysis. Samples below the detection limit were assumed to be 1 copy in the calculation. (B) There was no correlation between the absolute amounts and CD4 cell counts at the time of sampling. Spearman's rank test and linear regression analysis (y = 1.47 - 0.000368x, p = 0.3342) were used for statistical analysis.
