No differences in the CD4 + T-cell count were found between the HIV groups: 477 (393–730) in LTNPs vs. 510 (341–579) in HIV+ progressors (p = 0.624), despite LTNPs having a longer duration of infection, with 6 years since diagnosis (3–13), compared to 3 years (2–4) in HIV+ progressors (p = 0.02) and a significantly lower viral load (66 copies/mL (39–145) in LTNPs and 13,180 copies/mL (4396–160,977) in HIV+ progressors; p < 0.001). Here, CD4 is linked to infection.
