AbstractCytomegalovirus (CMV) is a prevalent β-herpesvirus that persists asymptomatically in immunocompetent hosts. In people with HIV-1 (PWH), CMV is associated with persistence of the HIV-1 reservoir and particular inflammatory related co-morbidities. The true causative role of CMV in HIV-associated pathologies remains unclear given that nearly all PWH are coinfected with CMV.
