Hypertension among people living with HIV (PLHIV) compared with people without HIV (PWoH): A systematic review with meta-analysis.
People with HIV face double the hypertension burden, pointing to integrated heart disease screening as essential HIV care component.
PLHIV have significantly elevated hypertension prevalence versus HIV-negative controls in meta-analysis, establishing HIV as an independent cardiometabolic risk factor requiring integrated cardiovascular management in HIV care. This record was retained from the prior triage attempt for PubMed pipeline handoff.
