Article Synopsis
- Cardiovascular issues are increasing among people with HIV/AIDS, but the link between HIV, antiretroviral therapy (ART), and heart health needs more research in sub-Saharan Africa.
- A study in Worcester, South Africa, compared HIV-positive individuals on ART with HIV-negative individuals, assessing various health factors and conducting blood tests.
- Results indicated that HIV-positive patients had lower body mass index and higher liver enzyme levels than HIV-negative patients, suggesting a complex relationship between HIV, ART, and heart health that highlights the need for cardiovascular monitoring in these patients.
