HIV and low grade systemic inflammation
« on: May 11, 2019, 08:09:50 pm »
I thought this thread is best to post this question and apologies if this has already been discussed.


Why do people who are undetectable on treatment still experience low grade systemic inflammation and premature aging? Does that mean even if there is a sterilizing or functional cure one day, the immunity induced inflammation is likely to persist given the HIV antibodies will remain in our body?


My doctor cant answer this question.
Seroconverted and diagnosed in Aug 2017.
On treatment since Oct 2017,U+ since Nov 2017.
On Genvoya CD4 count ranging between 850-966. (Nov 2017-present)
MMR, Tdap, Hep A/B, Gardasil-9, Pneumovax 13, 23, Meningococcal
