Age-related differences in the vascular function and structure of South Africans living with HIV

Conclusion: Black South Africans living with HIV have a less adverse blood pressure profile than their counterparts without HIV. The HIV-positive status was not associated with measures of vascular structure or function in any age group. The results suggest that HIV does not contribute to EVA in this populati on; however, further longitudinal investigation is warranted.
