However, this success is accompanied by a growing burden of non-communicable diseases, particularly hypertension, which has emerged as a leading contributor to morbidity and mortality in sub-Saharan Africa. Despite this growing concern, data on the burden and care cascade of hypertension among PLWHIV in routine care settings remain limited in Cameroon.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To assess the prevalence, associated factors, and care cascade of hypertension among PLWHIV receiving follow-up at Yaound\u00e9 Central Hospital in Cameroon in 2024.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We conducted a cross-sectional descriptive study at the Day Hospital of Yaounde Central Hospital, a national referral center for HIV care. PLWHIV aged \u226521 years and under active follow-up were included. Hypertension was defined as systolic and\/or diastolic blood pressure \u2265140\/90\u2005mm\u2005Hg or current use of antihypertensive medication.

The overall prevalence of hypertension was 36.8% (95% CI: 32.9-40.9) and was higher among men than women (45.1% vs 33.9%). Among hypertensive individuals (n\u2009=\u2009204), 66.7% had initiated antihypertensive treatment, 45.6% were retained in care, and only 22.6% had controlled blood pressure.
