We sought to fill the research gap on the effects of statins on the risks of ischemic stroke and heart disease among individuals with human immunodeficiency virus infection, influenza, and severe acute respiratory syndrome associated–coronavirus (HIS) disorders. We enrolled a HIS cohort treated with statins (n = 4921) and a HIS cohort not treated with statins (n = 4921). The cumulative incidence of ischemic stroke and heart disease was analyzed using a time-dependent Cox proportional regression analysis. We analyzed the adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of ischemic stroke and heart disease for statins users relative to nonusers based on sex, age, comorbidities and medications. The aHR (95% CI) was 0.38 (0.22–0.65) for ischemic stroke. The aHR (95% CI) of heart disease was 0.50 (0.46–0.55). The aHRs (95% CI) of statin users with low, medium, and high adherence (statin use covering &lt;33%, 33%–66%, and &gt;66%, respectively, of the study period) for the risks of ischemic stroke were 0.50 (0.27–0.92), 0.31 (0.10–1.01), and 0.16 (0.04–0.68) and for heart disease were 0.56 (0.51–0.61), 0.40 (0.33–0.48), and 0.44 (0.38–0.51), respectively, compared with statin nonusers. Statin use was associated with lower aHRs for ischemic stroke and heart disease in those with HIS disorders with comorbidities.
