  1. 1 Median values are reported for HIV viral load, CD4 count, CD4 percent, ALT level. HIV viral load was not measured in non-AIDS. Viral load units are copies mL-1 (c mL-1). 2Number and percent are reported for CD4 count <200 and abnormal ALT. *10 HIV-1 (9 AIDS, 1 non-AIDS) and 2 Dual (1 AIDS, 1 non-AIDS) were not tested for CD4 count; **53 HIV-2 (1 AIDS, 52 non-AIDS) and 5 Duals in the non-AIDS group were not tested for CD4 percent. ***In total, 160 patients (14 AIDS and 146 non-AIDS) were not tested for ALT.
