March 1, 2023
Abstract Inflammasome activation is increased in people with HIV (PWH), but its relationship with coronary plaque is poorly understood in this setting. In a large HIV […]
February 27, 2023
Abstract Weight gain with longer-term INSTI-based regimens remains unknown. Over 2-years of follow-up in REPRIEVE, INSTI use was associated with weight gain among those on an […]
February 27, 2023
Abstract People with HIV (PWH) appear at higher risk for suboptimal pathogen responses and worse COVID-19 outcomes, but the effects of host factors and COVID-19 on […]
November 30, 2022
Abstract Background REPRIEVE, the Randomized Trial to Prevent Vascular Events in HIV, is a multicenter, primary prevention trial evaluating whether a statin can prevent major cardiovascular […]
November 30, 2022
Abstract Objective To investigate relationships between Life’s Simple 7 (LS7), an assessment of cardiovascular health (CVH), and coronary plaque among people with HIV (PWH). Methods Coronary […]
September 27, 2022
Abstract Background Among people with HIV (PWH), sex-differences in presentations of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) may be influenced by differences in coronary plaque parameters, immune/inflammatory biomarkers, […]
September 1, 2022
Abstract Background Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is thought to result in increased immune activation in people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV, PWH). Although some data have linked […]
August 11, 2022
Abstract Objective To characterize diet quality across a global cohort of people with HIV (PWH). Design Cross-sectional analysis. Methods Leveraging REPRIEVE data from baseline across five Global Burden […]
June 3, 2022
Abstract Background People with HIV (PWH) have subclinical coronary artery disease (CAD) despite low traditional atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk scores. Coronary plaque in PWH presents […]
June 3, 2022
Abstract Background Limited data are available regarding asymptomatic COVID-19 among people with HIV (PWH). Data on a representative subset of PWH enrolled in REPRIEVE, a global clinical trial […]
March 7, 2022
Abstract Background We sought to explore multinational differences in functional status by Global Burden of Disease (GBD) regions in the REPRIEVE cohort. Methods REPRIEVE is a […]
March 3, 2022
Abstract Background Among ART-treated people with HIV (PWH), persistent systemic immune activation contributes to atherogenesis, cardiovascular disease (CVD) events, and mortality. Factors associated with key immune […]
December 13, 2021
Abstract Background People with HIV (PWH) are at increased risk for cardiovasvular disease (CVD) and sudden cardiac death. Prior work has suggested an association between HIV […]
December 13, 2021
Abstract Little is known regarding COVID-19 vaccination rates in people with HIV (PWH), a vulnerable population with significant morbidity from COVID-19. We assessed COVID-19 vaccination rates […]
December 13, 2021
Abstract Background Emerging data demonstrate that the use of integrase inhibitor (INSTI)-based antiretroviral treatment (ART) is associated with increased weight, but the cardiometabolic health consequences of […]
July 7, 2021
Abstract Background In addition to traditional cardiovascular (CV) risk factors, antiretroviral therapy, lifestyle, and HIV-related factors may contribute to future CV events in persons with HIV […]
July 7, 2021
Key Points Question What is the extent of coronary artery disease among people with well-controlled HIV and low to moderate risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), and […]
September 17, 2020
The Randomized Trial to Prevent Vascular Events in HIV (REPRIEVE) is the largest study of cardiovascular disease in human immunodeficiency virus. Enrolling 7770 participants from 2015 […]
September 17, 2020
Background: Patterns of antiretroviral therapy (ART) use and immunologic correlates vary globally, and contemporary trends are not well described. Methods: The REPRIEVE trial (Randomized Trial to […]
September 17, 2020
Background: Reproductive aging may contribute to cardiometabolic comorbid conditions. We integrated data on gynecologic history with levels of an ovarian reserve marker (anti-müllerian hormone [AMH)] to […]
September 17, 2020
Abstract: Because persons who identify across the transgender spectrum (PATS) are a key population in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) yet are under-reported in HIV and cardiovascular […]
