Abstract
HIV is associated with an increased risk of age-related clonal hematopoiesis
People with HIV have higher rates of comorbidities than people without HIV. The ARCHIVE study demonstrated that clonal haematopoieis (CH) was more prevalent in HIV-positive vs. -negative participants and found associations between CH, HIV and inflammation. These data suggest that inflammation from HIV infection may support the emergence of CH.
