Abstract

PHIV on older ART had higher CAP than HU, whereas in PHIV switched to TLD there was no difference in CAP compared to HU. There was no difference in liver stiffness between either PHIV group and HU. This suggests starting ART early in life might protect PHIV from developing hepatic fibrosis.
