CD4 cell counts and CD4/CD8 during follow-up. Variation in CD4 cell counts and CD4/CD8 ratios was expressed as the slope obtained by linear regression over time in individuals primarily classified as EC-LTNP or vLTNP (left panels) or as EC-LTNP maintaining their status, EC-LTNP losing LTNP status, EC-LTNP re-classified as vLTNP during follow-up, EC-LTNP primarily re-classified as vLTNP and then losing LTNP phenotype, vLTNP maintaining their status and vLTNP losing LTNP phenotype (right panels). *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001 compared to EC-LTNP or EC-LTNP maintaining the phenotype, respectively.
