SD indicates standard deviation; mg, milligrams; dL, deciliter; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; HTN, hypertension; Q1, quarter 1; Q3, quarter 3; ART, antiretroviral therapy; CHD, coronary heart disease; PY, person years; ASCVD, atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.

HIV viral load is represented as the median log viral load among individuals with detectable viral loads. Hard CHD is defined as MI or coronary death. ASCVD is defined as MI, stroke, or coronary death.
