  5. eTwo cART-naïve patients started treatment with an HIV-RNA <50 copies/mL: one because of anxiety related to HIV-infection, the other was taking a combination of tenofovir and emtricitabine intermittently without his physician knowledge. We still considered the latest as treatment-naïve of cART regimen
  6. cART combined antiretroviral treatment, MSM men who have sex with men, SD standard deviation, HBV hepatitis B virus, HCV hepatitis C virus
