Elite controllers maintain high CD4(+) T-cell counts and suppress plasma human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) viremia in the absence of antiretroviral therapy (ART). It is unclear whether levels of biomarkers associated with coagulation, monocyte activation, and inflammation, which are linked to HIV-associated mortality, differ among elite controllers, ART recipients with suppressed viremia (plasma HIV type 1 RNA load, <50 copies/mL), and HIV-negative controls.
