Abstract

Dyslipidaemia and elevated CVD risk are highly prevalent among the study participants, with disparities based on HIV status, sex, and social vulnerability. Routine lipid screening and integrated HIV-CVD care, particularly for high-risk subgroups such as older women, are essential for reducing the long-term CVD burden.
