  1. CD4 values, CD8 values, and CD4:CD8 ratios were recorded at baseline and 6 years for the low and high apoptosis groups. At baseline, a parametric t test showed no significance between low and high CD8 apoptosis levels for CD4, CD8 or CD4:CD8 ratios. However, after 6 years, a significant difference was observed between the high and low annexin groups with respect to CD4 values and CD4:CD8 ratios with p values of ≥ 0.001 and ≥ 0.037. CD8 was not significantly different at any time point.
