The distribution of risk factors for cardiovascular disease in patients aged 35-44 years who were treated for human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection was compared with that for a population-based cohort. HIV-1-infected men treated with a protease inhibitor-containing regimen (n=223), compared with HIV-1-uninfected men (n=527), were characterized by a lower prevalence of hypertension, a lower mean high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level, a higher prevalence of smoking, a higher mean waist-to-hip ratio, and a higher mean triglyceride level. No difference was found for total plasma or low-density cholesterol levels, nor for the prevalence of diabetes. Similar trends were observed among female subjects. The predicted risk of coronary heart disease was greater among HIV-1-infected men (relative risk [RR], 1.20) and women (RR, 1.59; P
