Note: CI = confidence interval. *Patients aged 16 years or older after January 1998 with CD4 cell counts likely to be within the stable phase of chronic untreated HIV infection. †All CD4 cell counts for patients aged 16 years and older after January 1998. ‡Mixed model with a random intercept and random slope for each patient. All cohorts except Aquitaine. With intercepts for cohort and with both intercepts and slopes for age, sex, ethnicity, initial HIV RNA, and injection drug use as the likely mode of transmission. §Few patients of African ancestry had viral subtype AE; therefore, this point estimate is unreliable.
