Carotid Artery Thickness in HIV Infected and Uninfected Adults

Completed

Conditions studied: HIV Infections, HIV Seronegativity, Atherosclerosis

In brief

The intima-media thickness (IMT) test is a low cost, non-invasive way to measure the thickness of the carotid artery (the large artery in the neck). The purpose of this study is to compare the thickness of the carotid artery among HIV infected adults taking protease inhibitors (PIs), HIV infected adults not taking PIs, and HIV uninfected adults, and to examine how the thickness may change over time.
