  1. Values given in pg/ml unless otherwise stated.
  2. aP-values for interaction of between enhanced prophylaxis randomisation and time from mixed model adjusted for baseline CD4 assess whether there is evidence that the changes in biomarker from week 0 to 4 differ between the randomised prophylaxis groups. 44 biomarkers tested: naïve Bonferroni significance threshold = 0.05/44 = 0.00114; no test meets the ordered BH threshold. Variables with P-value < 0.05 in bold.
  3. bMean and standard deviation calculated on scale transformed for normality for the mixed model and then back transformed onto the original scale for interpretability.
