we found an increased risk for CVD despite controlling for common risk factors which included age, sex, ethnicity, deprivation, BMI, smoking status and comorbidities at baseline including hypertension, type 1 and 2 diabetes, lipid-lowering drug use and chronic kidney disease. The second point can be taken from our sub-group analysis where we see that irrespective of age, sex and smoking status, people with HIV have a heightened risk of CVD.....typical assessment tools rely on these characteristics to determine CVD risk, but given our analysis, it is likely these tools do not accurately detect CVD risk in people living with HIV
