Text: Restricting to vRNA 50 copies per milliliter, multivariable models showed the following factors associated with higher CD8 T-cell activation : older age [45 vs. 30 years : 3. 6 % (1. 4 to 5. 7), P = 0. 004], hepatitis C virus antibody positivity [3. 6 % (0. 9 to 6. 2), P = 0. 032], Hispanic vs. white [7. 2 % (5. 3 to 9. 0), P < 0. 001], lower concurrent CD4 count [200 vs. > 500 cells/mm : 2. 2 % (0. 7 to 3. 7), P < 0. 001], lower concurrent CD4/CD8 ratio [-2. 6 % (-3. 7 to -1. 5) per 0. 5 unit increase, P < 0. 001], and higher pre-ART CD8 T-cell activation [2. 0 % (1. 6 to 2. 5) per 10 % higher, P < 0. 001].
