Plasma IL-6 and CD8 + T cell activation are highest in women living with HIV with HR-HPV infection. Legend: Scatter plot showing the median and interquartile range of A. The log10 plasma IL-6 concentrations and B. The frequency of CD8 + HLADR + CD38 + (%) in seronegative women (SNW) and women living with HIV (WLWH) with or without HPV infection. Kruskal–Wallis test was used to compare groups and p values were adjusted for multiple comparisons using Dunn's multiple comparisons test. *p < 0.05 (statistical significance). Only significant adjusted p values are shown. Statistical analysis and graphs were done in GraphPad Prism 9. Abbreviations: CD: cluster of differentiation, HLA: human leukocyte antigen, HIV: human immunodeficiency virus, HPV: human papillomavirus, HPVP: HPV positive, HPVN: HPV negative, KWp = Kruskal–Wallis p, ml = milliliter, pg = picogram, SNW: seronegative women, WLWH: women living with HIV, %: frequency
