Abacavir Not Associated with MIs, 2 Studies Report at IAS - (07/23/09)...... opening presentation by Dominique Costagliola, who reported at CROI from a large French database that abacavir was associated with MIs, and has reversed her position. She now says that upon further analysis of her cohort current cocaine use and IVDU is associated with MIs, and if you eliminate patients from the study with current use of cocaine & IVDU there is no association between abacavir & MIs
