HIV/CVD Podcast Series
Six-Part Podcast Series on the association between HIV and CVD
An estimated
1.1 million adults and adolescents in the US
are infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
1
? The introduction of the highly-active anti-retroviral therapy (HAART) era in the 1990s revolutionized the management of the disease, giving patients the potential of living a nearly normal lifespan.
However, with this longer lifespan comes a growing understanding of the effects of the virus on organ systems beyond the immune system. By 2030, it is estimated that 73% of individuals with HIV will be 50 years or older
2
, and studies find that cardiovascular disease (CVD) is responsible for approximately
11% of deaths among HIV-positive patients
3
, a percentage that will increase as patients live longer with the disease.
