[1], concluded that HIV infection increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). They found the relative risk (RR)</p><p>of CVD among people living with HIV (PLHIV) was 1.61 (95% CI 1.43-1.81). Despite the introduction of  antiretroviral therapy (ART) which increase survival of PLHIV, ART itself increase the risk of CVD (RR 2,00 95% CI 1,70-2,37) [1].
