Observational study examines blood pressure in youth with HIV, highlighting the influence of adiposity.
Youth with HIV had lower adiposity and BP than youth without HIV during study visits. Although youth with HIV had a lower risk of abnormal BP, this association did not persist after adjustment for adiposity. Prevention and treatment of other traditional cardiovascular disease risk factors remain important among youth living with HIV.
