There are about 1.2 million people now living with HIV around the US, though 1 in 8 don’t know. Experts say the untreated HIV not only causes harm to those infected but also allows the virus to be easily spread. About 6,700 people die from HIV and AIDS in the United States each year, making it a top 10 killer for those age 25 to 44 to patients living longer and suff ering from the same health conditions as other Americans with poor diet and exercise habits, though ageing does play a role. Feinstein said it likely has more to do with chronic infl ammation spurred by HIV that is harming the body’s vessels. “There seems to be an accelerated risk of developing plaque in the arteries including heart arteries,” Feinstein said. “It leads to an earlier manifestation of heart disease.” Cholesterol drugs reduce cholesterol and infl ammation to some extent, said Feinstein, though the degree to which it does has been debated. He said some of his other research has shown that taking a statin can lower risk when the risks of a heart attack are high, but not much when there are few risk factors. That is why many doctors do not off er the medications to younger, relatively healthy people. That is also why the large NIH study will be useful, said Feinstein, who will be keeping tabs on the NIH study through Northwestern, which also is participating in the trial.
