This large-scale analysis of cardiovascular events in the SMART study demonstrated that the inflammatory markers IL-6, D-dimer and hsCRP confer an increased risk of cardiovascular events amongst treated, HIV infected individuals, independent of other risk factors. This important finding provides evidence for the role of inflammation in the development of non-AIDS comorbidities in HIV infected individuals.

J Gen Virol. 2011;92:2746-56. This analysis of the effect of CMV and herpes simplex virus on Tcell subsets in the aged demostrated that the expansion of CD28- memory T cells and 'senescent' CD57+ CD8+ T cells previously thought to be due to ageing is only seen in CMV seropositive individuals. This highlights the important roel CMV plays in immunosenescence and the need to adjust for CMV status, and ideally CMV reactivation, in studies of immune activation and ageing.

Reporting the striking finding of significantly reduced T cell actiavtion and sCD14 levels in virologically suppressed HIV+ individuals after only 1 week of treatment with aspirin. Although only a small study (25 HIV+ and 45 control participants), the data highlight the significant activation of platlets in HIV infection and the influence this has on monocyte activation and thus inflammation/immune activation. This is to date a poorly investigated area in HIV infection.
