Persistent platelet activation and apoptosis in virologically suppressed HIV-infected individuals

Abstract Cardiovascular diseases and thrombotic events became major clinical problems in the combined antiretroviral therapy (cART) era. Although the precise mechanisms behind these clinical problems have not been fully elucidated, a persistent pro-inflammatory state plays a central role. As platele...
