HIV Treatment Slows Accelerated Aging
POZ ^ | May 6, 2026 | Liz Highleyman

Posted on 05/08/2026 12:00:12 PM PDT by fwdude

Use of antiretroviral treatment may slow accelerated biological aging by nearly four years, according to study results presented at the Congress of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases in Munich (ESCMID Global 2026).

...

People living with HIV are prone to developing comorbidities, such as cardiovascular disease, certain cancers and cognitive impairment, earlier than their HIV-negative peers. Despite antiretroviral treatment, HIV remains in the body and can cause persistent immune activation and chronic inflammation that leads to a host of health problems.

Emphasis on "Accelerated Aging." This is not readily acknowledged enough.

Better idea: avoid the behaviors which spread HIV (faggotry) altogether.

“People living with HIV are prone to developing comorbidities, such as cardiovascular disease, certain cancers and cognitive impairment, earlier than their HIV-negative peers. Despite antiretroviral treatment, HIV remains in the body and can cause persistent immune activation and chronic inflammation that leads to a host of health problems.” What about people who don’t have HIV, but still have those maladies?

What about slow aging. It’s taking me decades to get this old and I want to reverse it.

"Prone" and "than" are the operative words here.

There is a diet that can lower your biological age 2.5 years in three months and with only 15 days of being on the diet.

Interested?

It goes beyond that. There are always going to be individuals who will take the risks. In many cases, those people will lie about those behaviors and potentially pass HIV to others.

Even if you enter a relationship and marriage with someone who was 100% clean, what's to say they won't cheat on their spouse with someone who isn't? I had a friend at work who had that happen to them in the late 1990s.

Are you talking about keto diet with intermittent fasting?

Arrogant answer. Couple were married for 16 years, with three children, before the one spouse decided to experiment outside of the marriage. And tell that to the spouse, who was a victim, along with the three children, all of whom were tested extensively for months after the spouse’s doctor notified the family (by law at the time).

I’ve read theory that aging has to do with degradation of your genome, both naturally because of constant cell splitting and errors in the copies, as well as environment, such as radiation, chemicals, injurious stressors, and (pertaining here) constant attacks on your systems by pathogens.

Is it possible that in Eden, there was no disease and thus no aging? /tangential ADHD

How much of aging is the result of how harsh immunological response can be?

I’d like to know how much Mr. Fauci hid from the public regarding “HIV.”

Whatever.

99.99999% of normal, married man-woman couples don’t have to worry a wit about AIDS. They don’t have to worry about evasive actions to avoid it, don’t have to deploy various “protection” schemes, don’t need to be tested every year for it, and don’t have to lie to donate blood.

Faggots have to do this all the time.

The very rare exception doesn’t negate the rule.

Seems I recall that untreated HIV stopped aging in its tracks.

There are worse things than getting old.

You still age after you assume room temperature.

I don’t have HIV so if I take this treatment, can I live to 200?

Depends on what definition of ‘you’ you’re working with.
