9 May 2017
Abstract excerpt
To the Editors: INTRODUCTION HIV-infected individuals show significantly shorter leukocyte telomere length compared with uninfected controls.1–4 This may translate to accelerated cellular aging and immunosenescence in the HIV population. HIV-related factors, such as duration of HIV infection or severity of HIV disease progression, fail to explain the variance in telomere length associated with HIV infection....
