When stepwise logistic regression was used, with adjustment for sex, age, BMI, virus load, and treatments to explain the presence of cardiometabolic risk factors (dichotomous variables described in the method section), T2D was associated with viral loads >1,000 [OR: 1.56 (95%CI: 1.09, 2.22), p = 0.014], and CD4 lower than 500 [OR: 1.36 (95%CI: 0.96, 1.93), p = 0.088]. The gene discussed is CD4; the disease is type 2 diabetes mellitus.
