Preclinical markers of atherosclerosis are elevated in EFV-treated and LPV/r-treated subjects compared to HAART-naïve and NVP-treated.

<p>Wilcoxon rank sum test <i>p</i>-values are shown. *Note: Although the pairwise Wilcoxon rank sum test showed differences in cIMT between EFV- and LPV/r-treated and NVP-treated subject, ANOVA yielded a <i>p</i> = 0.12, which is above the defined criteria of <i>p</i><0.05 for statistical significance. When normalized to carotid artery diameter (cIMT-norm = cIMT/(<i>D</i>/2), where <i>D</i> = carotid diameter), EFV- and LPV/r-treated subjects exhibited significantly increased values compared to NVP-treated and HAART-naïve subject.
