Age may predict response to HIV treatment

How old you are determines, in part, how you respond to HIV therapy, according to the results of a vast cohort study including almost 50,000 HIV-positive people. The results, published in the July 31st issue of the journal AIDS, confirms that older people generally have better viral suppression than their younger counterparts, but often show a poorer immune response. Young people with HIV face different challenges, from rapid disease progression during infancy to relatively poor adherence during adolescence.
