“…In Cox model, with 2,144 cases, immunological indicators of increased mortality risk included a baseline CD4+ count below 200 cells/µL (aHR: 4.58, 95% CI: 2.28–9.19), a median (aHR: 8.46, 95% CI: 3.05–23.46), and a final (aHR: 4.43, 95% CI: 1.06–18.45) ratio below 0.7 and a median (aHR: 9.47, 95% CI: 4.02–22.35) and final (aHR: 14.46, 95% CI: 4.50–46.50) viral load 100,000 copies/mL and above. Conclusions Mortality among MSM PLHIV on ART in Guangxi is relatively low, and both high viral loads and low CD4+/CD8+ T cell ratios during treatment and at recent follow-up are strongly predictive of a serious prognosis and should be closely monitored.…”
