The administration of highly active antiretroviral therapy (ART) has resulted in a reduction in the mortality of these patients, although the occurrence of late morbidity due to both infection and treatment has increased. Unfortunately, even in cluntries with complete coverage for HIV-infection, a large group of patients do not start treatment until late stages, in which immunosenescence is profound and the possibilities of immunological recovery (increase in T cell counts CD4 +, normalization of the CD4 + / CD8 + index, decrease in susceptibility to opportunists, normalization in the cellular response to vaccines) are very low. In this context, finding new immuno-modulatory strategies that are both easily applicable and potentially improving survival and quality of life is crucial.
