Incident hypertension, cumulative viral load possibly linked in people with HIV

Cumulative viral load may be associated with incident hypertension among people with HIV, despite CVD risk factors possibly differing between health care systems, researchers found.

Rivera, MD, PhD, postdoctoral research fellow at Kaiser Permanente Southern California, who was a PhD student at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine at the time of the study, and colleagues analyzed 7,628 people with HIV without diabetes at baseline and 7,450 people with HIV without hypertension at baseline.
The data were collected from two Chicago health care systems: Northwestern
