People with HIV are twice as like to suffer from Sudden Cardiac Death
People living with HIV have to take potent antiretroviral drugs to keep the virus under control, but a new study has shown that there is cause for concern around their risks for Sudden Cardiac Death (SCD), experts from the University of California believe.
Autopsies on people living with HIV have found increased rates of scarring of the heart muscle called fibrosis, which could have caused SCD, researchers report in The New England Journal of Medicine.
Unlike a heart attack, caused by an arterial blockage, SCD is associated with an “electrical malfunction” in the heart.

Kampaania Life4me+
Info haridusliku kampaania "M = M" kohta ("Mittetuvastatav = mitteedasikanduv", #UequalsU, #НравноН), mis on Life4me+ poolt organiseeritud Ida-Euroopas ja Kesk-Aasias regioonis, suunatud info levitamisele, et HIV-positiivne inimene mittetuvastatava viiruskoormusega ei saa viirust seksuaalsel teel edasi kanda teisele inimesele.
Mitmed uuringud on näidanud, et diskordantses paaris, kus HIV-positiive partner võtab ARV ravimeid ja hoiab viiruskoormuse mittetuvastataval tasemel, ei ole teada juhtumitest, kus HIV oleks seksuaalsel teel edasi kandunud.
