IFNA2 and infection: Comparison of biomarker levels by timing of ART-initiation found a difference in pre-infection to post-ART-suppression by ART timing group for IFN-α2a and CRP (Figure 2 and Supplementary Tables 4a); CRP increased and IFN-α2a decreased in the deferred-ART but not in the immediate-ART group (Figure 2, Supplementary Table 5a, Supplementary Table 6a).
