Article Synopsis
- Systemic inflammation is a key predictor of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, showing a 2-fold increase among individuals living with HIV (PLHIV).
- A study in Kenya measured inflammatory markers in both PLHIV and HIV-negative individuals, finding significantly higher levels of markers like IL-6 and TNF-α in those with HIV, regardless of other CVD risk factors.
- The findings suggest that even virally suppressed PLHIV have elevated inflammation levels, indicating the need for further research to explore the predictive value of these markers for future CVD events and potential treatments.
