Chronic and systemic inflammatory alterations occur in HIV-infected patients and elderly uninfected subjects and in both scenarios these alterations are associated with the development of chronic morbidities and mortality. However, whether the levels of inflammatory alterations in untreated HIV-infected patients and elderly individuals are similar is unknown. Moreover, whether long-term antiretroviral therapy normalizes inflammatory alterations compared with HIV-uninfected persons of different age is not known.
