Adolescents with perinatally acquired HIV (AWH) are at an increased risk of poor cognitive development yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Circulating galectin-9 (Gal-9) has been associated inflammation and multimorbidity in adults despite antiretroviral therapy (ART); however, relationship between Gal-9 AWH cognition unexplored.

The objective this study was to identify combination risk features that distinguish frail from nonfrail individuals. Setting: Machine learning analysis highly dimensional performed on a cohort PLWH. Methods: Participants included 105 older (average age = 55.6) PLWH, at least 3-month history antiretroviral therapy (median CD4 546). Predictors demographics, markers, comorbid health...
