17% of U.S. men with HIV, and 12% of women, were found to have a high risk of heart disease (at least 25% in the next 10 years), using standard risk estimates. Those using protease inhibitors had a higher rate, as did those who were overweight, or who had a low income (under $10,000 compared with over $40,000).
A report for patients can be found at Aidsmap, “Anti-HIV treatment, weight and low income risk factors for heart disease.”
