Abstract | BACKGROUND: SETTING: In a case-control study nested within the Women's Interagency HIV Study (WIHS), eligible HIV+ participants underwent B-mode carotid artery ultrasound at 2 study visits occurring 7 years apart. Cases were defined by the presence of at least 1 carotid artery plaque assessed at either visit. Cases were matched 1:2 to controls who were found not to have carotid artery plaques. METHODS: RESULTS: Elevated MP-TF activity (>0.537 pg/mL) was found to be significantly associated with greater odds of plaque (adjusted odds ratio 3.86, 95% confidence interval: 1.06 to 14.07, P = 0.04). The association was attenuated after further adjustment for IL-6 but was unaffected by adjustment for other biomarkers including those denoting monocyte activation. CONCLUSIONS:
