Immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) is characterized by release of proinflammatory cytokines and tissue inflammation occurring early after antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiation. The role of previous IRIS events in persistent chronic inflammation in people with HIV is currently unclear. In this retrospective analysis of 143 participants who maintained suppression of HIV viremia, we compared biomarkers related to inflammation, coagulation, and cardiovascular risk after 3 years on ART in participants with and without a history of IRIS. There was no evidence of higher levels of persistent chronic inflammation in people with HIV who had a history of an IRIS event. . NCT00286767.
