Abstract
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)–infected African Americans (AAs) may have a higher risk of cardiovascular complications. Our study suggests that vitamin D deficiency Is independently associated with silent coronary artery disease (CAD) in HIV-infected AAs without symptoms/clinical evidence of CAD. Further longitudinal studies are needed.
