Text about HIV, paragraph on Host Immune Factors.

What does it mean 'temporally' in the sentence below?

'Initial control of viremia is temporally correlated with the appearance of HIV-specific cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) responses.' Context below:


The relative strength and breadth of the immune response can affect HIV disease progression. Initial control of viremia is temporally correlated with the appearance of HIV-specific cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) responses. HIV-specific CTL cells can be detected as early as 3 weeks after the onset of symptoms of primary infection and weeks before the development of neutralizing antibodies. HIV-specific CD4+ proliferative responses also play a role in disease control and have been found to be preserved in some long-term nonprogressors.
