Figure 1 provides data on baseline (ART initiation) and last follow-up CD4 result by levels of retention. At initiation the total median CD4 was 215 cells/mL with the median among the group who stopped ART at 160 cells/mL. There was no difference in the median CD4 count between the three groups at baseline (p = 0.33). There was a statistically significant improvement in the CD4 count at the last follow-up visit compared to the baseline visit for the groups that were completely or partially adherent, but not for the group that stopped ART prior to the 8 month visit.Back to article page
