The VHA exceeds national benchmarks for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) viral suppression rates, although suppression rates are lower than the VHA average among younger, female, Latino, and rural veterans.1 Cardiovascular health is an emerging concern for veterans with HIV, who experience higher mortality and severe events like stroke, despite fewer traditional risk factors.2
Comparing MACE in Veterans With and Without HIV2
Clinical characteristics and mortality outcomes were compared in a cohort of veterans with (n = 2510) and without HIV (n = 277,801), who experienced their first MACE between 2003.
