Differences between <scp>HIV</scp>‐infected and uninfected adults in the contributions of smoking, diabetes and hypertension to acute coronary syndrome: two parallel case–control studies

Abstract

The contribution of smoking to ACS in HIV-positive adults was generally greater than the contributions of diabetes and hypertension, and was almost twice as high as that in HIV-negative adults. Development of effective smoking cessation strategies should be prioritized to prevent cardiovascular disease in HIV-positive adults.
