Association between the presence of atherosclerotic plaque and HIV DNA levels. Frequencies of CD4+ T cells harboring total HIV DNA (A) and integrated HIV DNA (B) in PWH presenting atherosclerotic plaques (CVD+, n = 37) or not (CVD−, n = 22) in the coronary artery. Samples with no detectable HIV DNA are represented by open symbols and are plotted at the limit of detection of the assay calculated from the cell input in each sample. P values were obtained using a nonparametric Mann-Whitney test. CVD, cardiovascular disease; HIV, human immunodeficiency virus; PWH, people with human immunodeficiency virus.
