Summary
People living with HIV have two times the risk of having a heart attack compared with the general population. Some of this risk is due to damage cause by inflammation that the HIV virus stimulates, but side effects of anti-HIV medications also play a part. This project will try two new strategies aimed at reducing inflammation and blocking the side effects of anti-HIV medications with the aim of reducing the risk of heart attack in people with HIV.
