Abstract
Methods Retrospective randomized study carried out between 31.12.2009 and 30.06.2010 on 56 HIV infected persons (HIP) parenterally infected with HIV-1 during 19881990, following ART, under surveillance of HIV/AIDS Regional Center – Craiova. Variables followed: history and clinical data, traditional and additional CVR factors, metabolic, immunological and virusological parameters, inflammation markers (hs-CRP), ultrasound data regarding carotid intima-media thickness (IMT). Twenty-six HIV-seronegative young adults were assigned as control group (CG) for metabolic parameters, hs-CRP and IMT.
Highlights
Subclinical atherosclerosis in young persons horizontally infected with HIV-1 during infancy
In HIV infected persons (HIP) – hsCRP = 2.17 mg/l, equivalent with a moderate cardiovascular risk (CVR), statistically different compared with control group (CG) (p
From the traditional CVR factors dyslipidemia levels were higher in the HIP group vs. CG (p
Summary
To evaluate subclinical atherosclerosis and to identify the cardiovascular risk (CVR) profile in young adults horizontally infected with HIV-1 during infancy
