Infection with the human immunodeficiency virus is no longer synonymous with premature death. The arrival and development of antiretroviral drugs has enabled it to evolve into a chronic disease, which nevertheless leads to a higher risk of comorbidities. These add to the other issues facing patients due to their advancing age. Therapeutic education provided by the nurse is essential in this context.

Background: In recent years, the life expectancy of HIV patients has increased due to the introduction and development of antiretroviral therapies. However, although it has become a chronic pathology, the patients present a higher metabolic, hepatic, and renal risk and a greater aging than the general population.

Long-term control of viral replication relies on the efficient differentiation of memory T cells into effector T cells during secondary immune responses. Recent findings have identified T cell precursors for both memory and exhausted T cells, suggesting the existence of progenitor-like effector T cells. These cells can persist without antigenic challenge but expand and acquire effector functions upon recall immune responses.

This fuels microbial translocation, chronic immune activation, and increased comorbidities, including cardiovascular disease (CVD). Here, we sought to identify novel markers of mucosal barrier impairment in the blood to predict the HIV and/or CVD status.

It can be hereditary or acquired, localized or generalized. In HIV patients, prolonged antiretroviral therapy (ART) is a major cause, affecting around 55% of patients with 47% experiencing facial lipoatrophy.
