Article Synopsis
- Youth with vertically acquired HIV (YWVH) show immune abnormalities despite being on antiretroviral treatment (ART), especially with heightened T-cell activation and exhaustion levels.
- A study comparing YWVH to HIV-negative youth found strong correlations between immune activation markers and the CD4/CD8 ratio, suggesting this ratio may help in tracking disease progression.
- Overall, ART appears to only partially restore normal immune function in YWVH, emphasizing the need for ongoing monitoring and adaptation of treatment strategies.
