Baseline mild anemia in HIV-infected patients cannot always be resolved with durable efficient cART, possibly due to residual inflammation or immune activation rather than unbalanced iron homeostasis. Further research is needed on cytokine profiling to understand the mechanisms that induce anemia in HIV with suppressive cART.
