CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE IN HIV

Trans Am Clin Climatol Assoc. 2022:132:126-134.

Abstract

People living with HIV are at increased risk for cardiovascular disease. This report summarizes our work demonstrating associations between HIV and multiple subclinical markers of cardiovascular disease risk. Some of this risk appears to be related to heightened immune activation and system inflammation that is present in people living with HIV even when there is an undetectable viral load.
