We compared mean blood pressure (BP) obtained at study visits between youth with\/without perinatally acquired HIV infection and evaluated whether HIV disease severity was associated with BP. METHODS: BP was compared between participants with\/without HIV in the Adolescent Master Protocol of the Pediatric HIV\/AIDS Cohort Study. Marginal repeated measures analyses using generalized estimating equations evaluated the association of HIV disease severity with BP index (mean BP\/95th percentile BP) and abnormal BP. RESULTS: 447 youth with HIV and 226 youth without HIV were included. Youth with HIV were more often Black non-Hispanic (66% versus 54%), had greater household income (54% versus 35%), and lower measures of adiposity than those without.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RESEARCH ARTICLE: association of perinatal HIV exposure and HIV disease severity with BP in youth.
