Inflammatory Biomarkers Do Not Differ Between Persistently Seronegative Vs Seropositive People with HIV after Treatment in Early Acute HIV Infection.

Persistent viral activity may cause enduring seropositivity and inflammation in treated people with HIV (PWH). We compared inflammatory biomarkers between early treated PWH who remained seronegative or seroconverted and found similar levels of D-dimer, soluble cluster of differentiation 14, C-reactive protein, and interleukin-6, indicating that seronegativity does not affect chronic inflammation in early treated PWH.
