Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the link between HIV, hepatitis C virus (HCV), and the presence of carotid artery atherosclerotic plaques, which are related to an increased risk of stroke.
- Conducted on participants from the MACS/WIHS Combined Cohort Study, researchers used high-resolution ultrasound to analyze plaque characteristics and controlled for various demographic and health factors in their analysis.
- Findings show that individuals with HIV, especially those with a low CD4 count, and those with HCV—either alone or in combination with HIV—exhibited different types of plaques, indicating various risk profiles for cardiovascular issues.
