HIV patients with diabetes, heart disease have higher risk of heart events

"Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) patients with heart disease or diabetes have a higher risk for subsequent coronary events than HIV patients without heart disease or diabetes, according to a report in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association. Researchers investigated the risk of a new episode of coronary heart disease from a database of more than 33,000 HIV patients in Europe, Australia and the United States according to their histories of coronary heart disease and whether they had diabetes or not" - American Heart Association
