A – HIV RNA copies/ml. 5 children have RNA copies/ml<1200 and could be considered as pediatric HIV controllers (pHIC).
B – HIV/RNA copies/ml (mean ± SD) for the 5 pHIC (see above) and for the 36 viremic infants. The statistical difference between the two groups is significant (p=0.0004).
C- CD4 counts (mean ± SD) for the 5 pHIC and 36 viremic children. The difference is statistically significant (p=0.0085). By contrast, the difference between the CD4 counts in the pHIC infants and control group (HIV-negative infants) is not statistically significant (p=0.33).
