Venous thromboembolism in people living with HIV infection (PWH)

The risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) and of recurrent VTE remain elevated in people living with HIV compared to controls still with contemporary antiretroviral therapy (ART). The pathophysiology of VTE in HIV is multi factorial and includes an interplay among traditional risk factors, HIV-specific factors, behavioral factors, exposure to ART and other therapies, coinfections, and co-morbidities.
