We aimed to assess the prevalence of hypertension in an unselected human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)–infected population and to identify factors associated with hypertension prevalence, treatment, and control. Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD), a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the general population, is an increasing concern for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)–infected patients. HIV-infected individuals are exposed to accelerated vascular aging,1 and this issue has become even more relevant since antiretroviral therapy has impressively extended the life span of HIV-infected individuals.
