Sex differences in cardiovascular disease and associated factors in people living with <scp>HIV</scp> : Evidence from All of Us program
While many traditional and HIV-specific CVD risk factors are shared between men and women living with HIV (WLWH), our findings reveal that the magnitude of their effect is not uniform. The impact of key risk factors, particularly hypertension, is substantially greater in women, suggesting a heightened vulnerability to these exposures. These findings underscore the critical need for sex-specific risk assessments and aggressively tailored prevention strategies for PLWH.
