When the ART treated group were further sub-divided by year since treatment started, there was a significant trend to decreased prevalence of CFA with increasing time on treatment; 25.3% no treatment (n = 265), 15.2% year 1 treatment (n = 59), 13.6% year 2 treatment (n = 44), 10.0% year 3 treatment (n = 30) and 0% year 4 treatment (n = 9), (p<0.01 χ 2 for linear trend).
