Approximately 10-35% of people living with HIV (PLHIV) on antiretroviral therapy (ART) fail to restore CD4 T cell counts, a state known as immunological non-responder (INR) characterized by persistent immune activation and elevated cytokine levels. : This study aimed to identify cytokines that can serve as biomarkers for immune activation and inflammation in INR patients. : We conducted a cross-sectional study comparing two groups: INRs (PLHIV on ART with viral suppression) and immunological responders (IRs). We analyzed 40 samples of virologically suppressed PLHIV, measuring CD4 T cell counts, viral load via RT-PCR, and cytokine levels through cytometric bead array (CBA). : The INR group exhibited significantly higher median serum levels of IL-6 (1.74 pg/mL vs. 0.94 pg/mL, = 0.016) and IL-10 (1.65 pg/mL vs. 0.92 pg/mL, = 0.03) compared to the IR group. : Elevated IL-6 and IL-10 levels may serve as potential markers to distinguish INR from IR patients with areas under the curve (AUC) of 0.731 and 0.707, respectively.
