CD4 and tuberculosis: Notably, as compared to males in our study population, females were significantly younger (median age 36.2 vs. 41.3; p<0.001), more likely to have initiated ART after 2007 (48.1% vs. 44.4%; p = 0.009), less likely to have ever had tuberculosis during the study period (15.2% vs. 25.6%; p<0.001), and had significantly higher pre-ART baseline CD4 count (282 vs. 248; p<0.001).
