Cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr virus and human herpesvirus 8 salivary shedding in HIV positive men who have sex with men with controlled and uncontrolled plasma HIV viremia: a 24-month longitudinal study

Table 3 Main viro-immunological parameters of SSP with no herpesvirus detection or with any herpesvirus shedding at T0 and T1. Data are expressed as median and interquartile range (IQR)

	Patients with persistently negative herpesvirus shedding (n = 7)	Patients with the detection of any positivity at T0 and/or T1 (n = 33)	p
CD4 + cell count/mm³	600 (250–802)	610 (480–782)	0.46
CD4+ cell percentage	31 (17.2–36)	27 (22.7–36)	0.87
CD8+ cell count/mm	800 (539–856)	943 (610–1249)	0.36
CD8 + cell percentage	43 (36.2–50.2)	43 (33.7–51.2)	0.95
CD4+ cell count at nadir (cells/mm³)	310 (87–456)	290 (135–380)	0.78

T0: time of the first saliva sampling, after 24 months of plasma HIV RNA control analysis
T1: time of the second saliva testing, 24 months after T0
