Figure. Error bars represent 95% CIs. Twelve-year AIDS-free survival was significantly better in patients who were positive
for the hepatitis G virus ( ) (68% [CI, 55% to 81%]) than in those who were HGV-negative (40% [CI, 28% to 52%]) ( = 0.03). Product-limit AIDS-free survival (Kaplan–Meier method) measured from estimated dates of HIV seroconversion for 131 patients
in the Multicenter Hemophilia Cohort Study.HGVP
