Effect of degree of immunosuppression at baseline to the ongoing inflammation and immune activation among untreated and virally suppressed HIV subjects. Data depicts comparison of plasma levels of inflammatory or immune activation marker between different classifications of degree of immunosuppression at baseline (during treatment initiation). A Interleukin-6, B monocyte activation marker-sCD14, C interleukin-10 in untreated subjects with baseline CD4 count below vs. above 200cells/cm3 in virally suppressed subjects’ comparison of markers, D interleukin-6, E monocyte activation marker-sCD14, and F Interleukin-10; in subjects with CD4 counts below vs. above 100cells/cm3. G Comparison of plasma level of high sensitive C- reactive protein (hsCRP) based of quartile of baseline CD4 count, only P value < 0.05 is shown. For comparison purposes IL-10 and IL-6 values below detection limit were regarded as zero (0). All P values was obtained by Mann–Whitney U test
