Determinants of blood telomere length in antiretroviral treatment‐naïve HIV‐positive participants enrolled in the NEAT 001/ANRS 143 clinical trial

Abstract

Our aim was to investigate factors associated with baseline blood telomere length in participants enrolled in NEAT 001/ANRS 143, a randomized, open‐label trial comparing ritonavir‐boosted darunavir (DRV/r) plus raltegravir (RAL) with DRV/r plus tenofovir disoproxil fumarate/emtricitabine (TDF/FTC) in antiretroviral therapy (ART)‐naïve HIV‐positive adults.
