  1. aA total of 24 associations, occurring at 14 unique HIV-1 codons, are listed. The total 24 is reached because HLA-associated nonadapted and adapted forms are counted individually (e.g. B*57:01-Gag-T242N comprises two associations– the nonadapted T and the adapted N). Cases where a specific non-adapted or adapted form was not detected in early infection are denoted by a lowercase “x” (e.g. B*51:01-RT-I135x). Polymorphisms in bold represent associations detectable in both early and chronic infection at p ≤ 0.01; those italicized represent associations detectable in only the early cohort with p < 0.01.
  2. bWhere both nonadapted and adapted forms for a given HLA are identified, the maximum absolute Odds Ratio is shown.
  3. cWhere both nonadapted and adapted forms for a given HLA are identified, the lowest p-value is shown. Note the chronic p-value for B*37:01-Nef-E38D refers to its nonadapted (E38x) form; the p-value for the adapted (x38D) form at this stage is 0.07.
  4. *Bioinformatically predicted CTL epitopes are denoted by asterisks (*); the remainder are published (http://www.hiv.lanl.gov/content/immunology/tables/tables.html). Bold letters indicate the position within the epitope where the HLA-associated polymorphism occurs. Note the C*03-restricted AALDLSHFL epitope has been published in its C*03-adapted form.
  5. dFor each HLA-associated polymorphism in the table, its strength association in early versus chronic infection was compared using a previously-described phylogenetically-corrected interaction test (see Methods and [12],[27]). The p-values of these comparisons are listed in this column.
