Metabolic disorders associated with atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease have been described in "HIV-infected" individuals. We investigated (i) whether normotensive "HIV-infected" individuals and hypertensive patients have similarities regarding their arterial elastic properties and (ii) the effect of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) and metabolic factors on arterial stiffness.
