Advances in antiretroviral therapy (ART) have normalized the life expectancy of people living with HIV (PLWH) but have been linked to a premature presentation of age-related comorbidities, including cancer. Telomere length (TL) is a marker of cellular aging and was investigated in blood leukocytes from 78 PLWH on ART, compared with 163 HIV-uninfected controls. The PLWH group was stratified into three subgroups: HIV-only (n = 57), HIV with AIDS-defining cancer (ADC, n = 9), and HIV with NADC (n = 12). Quantitative p [...]
