  1. Anti-HCV=antibodies against hepatitis C virus; anti-HBc=antibodies against hepatitis B core antigen; HBsAg=antibodies against hepatitis B surface antigen; NHL=non-Hodgkin's lymphoma; OR=odds ratios; CI=confidence intervals.
  2. aEstimated from conditional logistic regression analysis, conditioned on centre, gender, age group, and CD4+ count at enrolment and adjusted for HIV-transmission category and year of enrolment.
