In the past few years disturbing reports have begun to accumulate about young, relatively healthy HIV positive men who have developed heart disease or suffered heart attacks. Researchers and health-care providers treating people with HIV are taking these reports seriously, and increasing attention has been devoted to cardiovascular disease at recent medical conferences. It remains to be determined whether these cardiovascular manifestations are attributable to HIV infection itself, to antiretroviral drug therapy, to a high prevalence among HIV positive people, of traditional risk factors that pose a danger for the population at large -- such as tobacco smoking, older age, male sex, and family history -- or to some other not-yet know. As our hospital is one of the biggest ART center and there are approximately 10622 HIV positive registered cases out of that 4313 pts. are on ART and 6309 are PRE ART pts.so we thought of conducting this study.
