Association Between the Development of Subclinical Cardiovascular Disease and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Reservoir Markers in People With HIV on Suppressive Antiretroviral Therapy.

ABSTRACT: We report that people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) diagnosed with coronary artery atherosclerotic plaques display higher levels of HIV DNA compared with those without atherosclerotic plaques. In a multivariable prediction model that included 27 traditional and HIV-related risk factors, measures of HIV DNA were among the most important predictors of atherosclerotic plaque formation.
