Statistical Comparisons: *Significantly longer duration of symptom free survival in HIV-1/HPgV +ve subgroup compared to other subgroups (p < 0.001 for both comparisons).

Note: Within the replacement category of HIV-1 infected donors with HPgV co-infections, the subcategory showing loss of HPgV viremia on follow up had significantly shorter duration of symptom free survival (Median, 95% CI as 61, 57-64) compared to the subcategory demonstrating persistence of HPgV viremia (Median, 95% CI as 80, 73-86; p < 0.001) at the same point.
