Take Action:Health - Wellness - Exercise - Reflections:ACTHIV: HIV Boosts Risk of Heart Disease
MedPage Today - Apr 9, 2011 - By Michael Smith
DENVER - HIV increases the risk of coronary heart disease independent of other risk factors, researchers reported here.
But the association is not seen for HIV-infected people whose immune system remained relatively intact, according to Daniel Klein, MD, of Kaiser Permanente Northern California in Maynard, Calif., and colleagues.
The finding - from a large retrospective case-control study - suggests that anti-retroviral therapy should be started earlier and that other risk factors should be managed aggressively, Klein and colleagues reported in a poster presentation at the American Conference on Treatment for HIV.
Using patient records from 1996 through 2008, the researchers identified 20,775 people with HIV, and then matched them for age, sex, year, and medical center with 215,153 people not infected with the virus.
The outcomes were coronary heart disease or myocardial infarction and patients were followed until the end of 2008 or until they had an event, left the health plan, or died.
All told, Klein and colleagues reported, there were 339 cases of coronary heart disease among the HIV cohort, including 248 heart attacks.
Those numbers yielded rates per 100,000 person-years of 447 and 275, respectively.
By comparison, among the non-HIV patients, there were 3,463, events, including 1,825 myocardial infarctions (MIs), they reported, yielding rates per 100,000 person-years of 311 and 162, respectively.
Rate ratios showed a significantly greater risk for those in the HIV cohort, in a Poisson regression analysis that adjusted for age, sex, race, smoking, alcohol or drug abuse, obesity, diabetes, and the use of either lipid-lowering or antihypertensive therapy.
Specifically, the rate ratio:
•For coronary heart disease overall was 1.2, with a 95% confidence interval from 1.1 to 1.4, which was significant at P<0.001.
•For MI was 1.4, with a 95% confidence interval from 1.3 to 1.7, which was also significant at P<0.001.
The researchers also conducted an analysis within the HIV cohort to look at the effects of anti-retroviral therapy, recent viral load, and recent and lowest recorded count of CD4-positive T cells.
They found that only a nadir CD4 count of 200 cells or fewer was significantly associated with an increased risk of coronary heart disease.
The analysis of the HIV cohort also found that the usual suspects -- smoking, increasing age, diabetes, and hypertension -- were associated with an increased risk, they reported.
It has been clear for some time that people with HIV are at higher risk of cardiovascular disease, according to John Brooks, MD, of the CDC, one of the conference co-chairs.
But the role of the virus itself has not been clear, he told MedPage Today, since many patients have other risk factors -- such as smoking or diabetes -- and anti-retroviral medications themselves have been implicated.
"The issue has been what about HIV itself," he said.
The findings have clear clinical implications, he said. "This gives you something to do -- don't let that CD4 count go too low."
Note: The study was supported by Pfizer. Klein is an employee of Kaiser Permanente.
- Boycott advertisers of Glenn Beck - Fox News. Glenn Beck is anti-gay rights. Update: Boycott Successful: Update 4/7/2011: Beck has been fired by FOX NEWS! Radio stations dropping Beck as well in several locations.
- Update: DADT has been repealed. President Obama has kept his promise!
- Boycott Bill O'Reilly and FOX News and their advertisers. Bill discussed a French commercial by McDonalds that was meant to show that McDonalds is Gay Friendly. Bill said what is next? Is McDonalds going to be Al-Qaida friendly as well? Imagine - Bill O'Reilly compares Gays to Al-Qaida!
- Boycott Arizona the home of "hater" - U.S. Senator John McCain. Arizona's Hateful anti-Immigration Law - encourages racial profiling and increases hatred towards minorities. A remedy: Demand Republicans to support Immigration Reform (The Dream Act). Further, Senator McCain voted against ending DADT and Blocked Immigration reform!
- Boycott Target, Best Buy, Gold's Gym - for donating money towards anti-gay political candidates/organizations. Update: (12/26/2010): Target is continuing to donate to anti-gay groups/causes/politicians. Update 03/08/11 - Lady Gaga Ends Target Partnership, Reportedly Over Target's Poor LGBT Stance. Update 3/25/2010 - Target displays their hypocrisy and Sues California Gay Rights Group for Lobbying Outside Stores. Target is attempting to block the LGBT right of free speech! STOP SHOPPING AT TARGET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Update 4/8/2011: Target lost it's case to stop the LGBT from canvassing in front of their stores. A huge PR Disaster for TARGET! Perhaps Target should go out of business as they betrayed their investers and customer base. Target contributed massive funds to a politician who would like to exterminate gays. Now, Target can not stop us from Boycotting them, nor picketing, nor talking to customers near their stores; although, Target allows a anti-gay company such as the Salvation Army to stand outside their door and speak with customers and raise money. Isn't this a double standard?
- End DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act). Prevents Federal employees and Gays in the Military from gaining equal benefits. Prevents Gay Partners from gaining equal benefits.
- Pass ENDA (Employee Non-Discrimination Act). ENDA would prevent employment discrimination of LGBT workforce.
- Boycott Salvation Army as they will not hire Gays! "DO NOT DONATE TO THEM."
- BOYCOTT "Chick-fil-a" for donating to anti-gay marriage groups.
- BOYCOTT KOCH INDUSTRIES PRODUCTS- to include their products: Angel Soft toilet paper / Brawny paper towels / Dixie plates, bowls, napkins & cups / Mardi Gras napkins and towels / Quilted Northern toilet paper / Soft 'n Gentle toilet paper / Sparkle napkins / Vanity fair napkins / Zee napkins / Georgia-Pacific paper products & envelopes / All Georgia-Pacific lumber & building products (INVISTA Products) / Lycra / Stainmaster Carpet. The billionaire - Koch brothers are ultra republican - tea bag founders/supporters that do not support causes of the LGBT community.
- Boycott WALMART - The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, force criticized Wal-Mart for denying employee benefits to same-s-x partners and for failing to prohibit discrimination based on gender identity. By comparison, the group said two other chain stores with a strong presence in New York, Costco and Walgreens, did much better.
- Remember David Kato, Gay activist - Uganda, who was slain because he is gay!
- NEW: Boycott Donald Trump, The Apprentice and NBC Network! At CPAC, Trump said he is considering a run for president as a Republican. In a interview with the Des Moines Register, Trump added that he opposes all forms of legal recognition for gay couples, not just marriage. "They should not be able to marry," he said. So why does NBC keep the Apprentice when Donald Trump has stated he may run for president? Boycott NBC, CNBC! Boycott advertisers of The Apprentice and his other business's. Don't shop at any bullding with Donald Trump's name to include Trump Hotels, Casinos, Condo's, Offices, Shops! The Donald has expressed extreme Hatred towards gays and now blacks with his birther remarks and anti-fay rhetoric. Remember how poorly Trump treated Rosie O'Donnel? Now we know why he did that! It was hate against a lesbian as we now know he is hater. Unforgiveable! Dump NBC because they air Donald Trump's "The Apprentice"? Start Watching CBS Evening News with Katie Couric.
- NEW: Boycott "APPLE." For the current owners and the aspiring owners of the I-phone, Apple allows an application, "The Gay App", which is supposed to help gay individuals turn straight. This is a step in the wrong direction.
Apple needs to know that the decision to allow this App on their products is a fallacious idea! Update: March 23, 2011: Apple removed this app from USA stores; but, rumored to have them remain in some foreign stores. This is offensive not just towards the LGBT community in the USA; but, offensive to the entire LGBT community around the world. How does anyone approve such a hateful, despicable app towards the LGBT community? Especially when Gay Teens are killing themselves after being harrassed by their church, parents, as well as by bully's and teachers at school. The idea that this app was used, solicited is disgusting.
And Now, Our War of the Fittest!

NOM Loses Thousands Of Facebook Fans As 'Volunteer' Endorses Gay Marriage
By On Top Magazine Staff - April 09, 2011
The National Organization for Marriage (NOM), the nation's most vociferous opponent of gay marriage, lost thousands of Facebook fans after its online strategist reclaimed the group's profile.
On Friday, Louis Marinelli posted on his website that he supports "full civil marriage equality."
"The constitution calls for nothing else," he concluded.
After the news broke of Marinelli's defection, he took a swipe at President Barack Obama, who supports civil unions for gay and lesbian couples. "Mr. Obama: I've come out for marriage equality and I'm a conservative Republican. Now, it's your turn #DOMA #LGBT #SSM," he messaged on Twitter.
Marinelli said he was behind the group's Summer for Marriage Tour 2010, a nationwide bus tour to rally opposition to gay marriage. NOM President Brian Brown disagreed, saying his role in the tour was limited to driving the bus.
"Louis Marinelli worked in a volunteer capacity as a bus driver during our summer marriage tour," Brown said.
He also helped the group expand its reach on the Internet. Brown acknowledged Marinelli worked in this capacity: "NOM began to pay him as a part-time consultant for helping us expand our Internet reach."
Volunteer or mastermind, Marinelli controlled NOM's official Facebook page, which he shuttered, throwing off the lights on more than 219,000 fans.
"We wish him well," Brown said on the group's new Facebook page, which had attracted 219 fans.
Every gay and lesbian person who has been lucky enough to survive the turmoil of growing up is a survivor. Survivors always have an obligation to those who will face the same challenges."
