Bifurcation and internal carotid artery intima media thicknesses between viremia groups.

All patients were male, non smokers. *Difference in intima media maximal thickness between groups. **D-viremia was the only significant predictor. Adding duration of ART to the model did not improve model fit (difference in BIC: 0.616) and was hence not included. ***Hypertension was defined by prior physician‘s diagnosis or systolic blood pressure ≥140 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure ≥90 mmHg. IMT – intima media thickness; ica-IMT – internal carotid artery intima media thickness; D – detectable; UD – undetectable; SBP – systolic blood pressure; HDL – high-density lipid; LDL – low-density lipid; CVD – cardiovascular disease; HOMA-IR – homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance; ART – antiretroviral therapy; VL – viral load; PI – protease inhibitors.
