Chronic immune activation and accelerated immune aging among HIV-infected adults receiving suppressive antiretroviral therapy for at least 12 years in an African cohort

20248 citationsOpen accessMakerere University

Abstract

ART-treated adults are immunologically two decades older than their HIV-negative counterparts. Accelerated immune aging among individuals aging with HIV underscores the need for an HIV cure to avert the unprecedented complications of accelerated immune senescence and the associated NCD risk in African settings with protracted exposure to endemic co-infections.
