Comparison of laboratory data between the ART-naive participants and participants receiving ART. a CD4⁺ T cell count (cells/µl). b Ratio of CD4⁺T cell count/CD8⁺ T cell count. c Lymphocyte count (10⁹/L). d The percentage of lymphocytes (%). e Total T lymphocyte count (cells/µl). f Erythrocyte count (10¹²/L). g Hemameba count (10⁹/L). h Platelet count (10⁹/L). i Trioxypurine level (µmol/L). j Triglyceride level (mmol/L). k Number of sexual partners. The red bar shows the ART-naive group (n = 204), and the green bar shows the ART group (n = 202). Data are presented as the mean ± SEM. Statistical significance was indicated as *p < 0.05 and **p < 0.001. “Created by the authors”
