1. Personal Statement

The aim of this study is the assessment of the cardiovascular risk of patients infected with HIV and who are on highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). With the advent of HAART, significant improvement in life expectancy has resulted in increasing numbers of HIV-infected persons developing chronic conditions like cardiovascular diseases. This increased burden of cardiovascular disease among HIV-infected persons have been attributed to factors related to the disease like chronic inflammation from the virus, side effects of treatment with HAART as well as the established risk factors for developing cardiovascular disease in the general population among others. The burden of cardiovascular disease risk in persons living with HIV/AIDS in our environment is unknown. . I am aware of the importance of making a realistic research plan, budget and the need to be guided accordingly. Hence I have been assigned a Nigerian mentor (Dr Oche Agbaji) and a US mentor (Dr Matthew Feinstein) who have vast experience in the management of patients with HIV and cardiovascular diseases  to provide guidance for this research.
