Abstract Objective: The aim of this study was to determine risk factors that increase cardiovascular risk and to estimate the cardiovascular risk at 5 and 10 years in overweight/obese in seropositive subjects undergoing cART from the of Northern Mexico Methods: This study included 186 PLWH under cART. The variables analyzed were were CD4+ count, viral load, lipid profile, glucose, insulin resistance, anthropometric measures, family history of hypertension and cardiovascular disease, years of treatment and cART scheme. In this study we analyzed the probable estimate of cardiovascular risk using the algorithmic models D: A: D (5-year period) and Framingham (10-year period). Results: In our study, 51.3% of the PLWH had arterial hypertension; most of the subjects were diagnosed with overweight, hypertriglyceridemia and metabolic syndrome, which are factors that increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. The evaluation of cardiovascular risk with the Framingham model, it is low and with the D model: A: D is moderate Conclusions: PLWH receiving cART present factors that potentiate the risk of early heart disease which are hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia, smoking and age. The cardiovascular risk with the algorithmic models D: A:D and Framingham are low to moderate; however these latter results should be taken with caution since the study population is a young population, which will not allow us to establish an accurate cardiovascular risk. It is important to take into account other factors such as overweight or obesity, smoking or coinfections, in addition to years of exposure to cART, which could increase the rate of heart disease.

Living With Hiv

Globally there is an increase in the number of people living with HIV at an advanced age (50 years and above). This is mainly due to prolonged survival following the use of highly active antiretroviral therapy. Living with HIV at an advanced age has been shown to be associated with a number of challenges, both clinical and immunological. This minireview aims at discussing the challenges encountered by elderly HIV-infected patients.
