Researchers want to understand why people living with HIV have higher heart disease risk than others. This study will examine how fat stores in the body — particularly around the heart and liver — may contribute to that extra risk. By comparing people with HIV to people without HIV, scientists hope to identify new ways to predict and prevent heart disease in this community.
People living with HIV develop heart disease much more often than expected, even when their HIV is well-controlled. Current tools to predict heart risk don't work well for this group. This research aims to uncover what's driving that excess risk so doctors can better protect these patients' hearts.

As a participant, you would attend study visits where researchers will take measurements and likely perform heart imaging scans to look at fat buildup around your heart and in your liver. You'll also have blood tests done and may answer questions about your health history and lifestyle. The study is observational, meaning you're not taking a new medication — researchers are simply studying how your body's natural fat distribution relates to heart disease risk.
