"Older Age and Lower Nadir CD4+ T-Cell Counts Correlated with Higher Anti-CMV IgG Levels"
 
"Among those with detectable HIV RNA in CSF, higher anti-CMV IgG in serum correlated with higher HIV RNA in CSF and higher CSF WBC counts (p=0.006)"
 
"T-Cell Activation Does Not Normalize During ART and CMV-Specific T-Cell Activation is Linked to Vascular Disease"
