Discussion

Analysis reveals high dyslipidaemia rates and elevated CVD risk in HIV-positive adults, highlighting urgent need for targeted lipid screening.

Dyslipidaemia was found in 61.9% of participants, with similar rates among PLHIV (60.29%) and HIV-negative individuals (65.06%).
Independent predictors of dyslipidaemia included factors like female sex, older age, obesity, and widowhood.
The estimated 10-year CVD risk showed that 3.95% had high and 21.47% had very high risk, predominantly among older, widowed women.
Routine lipid screening and integrated HIV-CVD care are crucial for high-risk groups to mitigate the long-term impact of CVDs.

Dushimiyimana et al. (2025) studied this question.
