"Inflammaging" refers to activation of the innate and adaptive immunity, which leads to immunosenescence and is associated with the incidence of age-associated disease. Long-term treated HIV-infected individuals show chronic inflammation, and persistent bacterial translocation secondary to an altered gut mucosa and reactivation of latent viruses are likely major drivers. In the general population, chronic inflammation predicts a number of pathologies associated with aging. Is there any parallel between the determinants of chronic inflammation in treated HIV-infected individuals and the HIV-uninfected? Is treated HIV infection a clinical model of premature aging?
