With the life expectancy of people living with HIV (PLHIV) rapidly approaching that of the general population, cardiovascular health in this group is as relevant as ever. Adenovirus 36 (Adv36) is one of the few viruses suspected to be a causative factor in promoting obesity in humans, yet there is a lack of data on this infection in PLHIV. Methods. PLHIV on stable suppressive antiretroviral therapy were included in the study, with assessment of anthropometric measures, blood pressure, serum lipid levels, fasting serum glucose and insulin, non-classical serum cardiovascular risk markers related to inflammation (hsCRP, resistin, calprotectin), and anti-Adv36 antibodies during a routine check-up. Results. 91 participants were recruited, of which 26.4% were Adv36-seropositive (Adv36(+)). Compared to Adv36-seronegative (Adv36(\u2212)) controls, Adv36(+) individuals had a lower waist circumference (Adv36(+) 89.6 \u00b1 7.7 cm, Adv36(\u2212) 95.5 \u00b1 11.7 cm, p = 0.024) and a lower waist-to-hip ratio (Adv36(+) 0.88 \u00b1 0.06, Adv36(\u2212) 0.92 \u00b1 0.09, p = 0.014), but this did not reach statistical significance in the multivariate analysis (p &gt; 0.05). Adv36(+) participants were less likely to be on lipid-lowering treatment (Adv36(+) 12.5%, Adv36(\u2212) 34.3%, p = 0.042), even after adjustment for relevant baseline characteristics (OR = 0.23, 95%CI = 0.04\u20130.91), but no differences in cholesterol or triglyceride levels were found. No other statistically significant associations were observed. Conclusions. We found no evidence to support the claim that past Adv36-infection is associated with an increased prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors or with elevated inflammatory markers in PLHIV. More research is needed to replicate these findings in other samples of PLHIV and to compare them with the HIV-negative population.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/v14081639","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,29]],"date-time":"2022-07-29T01:41:16Z","timestamp":1659058876000},"page":"1639","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Adenovirus 36 Infection in People Living with HIV\u2014An Epidemiological Study of Seroprevalence and Associations with Cardiovascular Risk Factors"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1879-5505","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mariusz","family":"Sapu\u0142a","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Infectious and Tropical Diseases and Hepatology, Medical University of Warsaw, 01-201 Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2190-8494","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Magdalena","family":"Suchacz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Infectious and Tropical Diseases and Hepatology, Medical University of Warsaw, 01-201 Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Joanna","family":"Koz\u0142owska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Infectious and Tropical Diseases and Hepatology, Medical University of Warsaw, 01-201 Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Aneta","family":"Cybula","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Infectious and Tropical Diseases and Hepatology, Medical University of Warsaw, 01-201 Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6993-9564","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ewa","family":"Siwak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Infectious and Tropical Diseases and Hepatology, Medical University of Warsaw, 01-201 Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dagny","family":"Krankowska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Infectious and Tropical Diseases and Hepatology, Medical University of Warsaw, 01-201 Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alicja","family":"Wierci\u0144ska-Drapa\u0142o","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Infectious and Tropical Diseases and Hepatology, Medical University of Warsaw, 01-201 Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e207954","DOI":"10.1001\/jamanetworkopen.2020.7954","article-title":"Comparison of Overall and Comorbidity-Free Life Expectancy Between Insured Adults with and without HIV Infection, 2000\u20132016","volume":"3","author":"Marcus","year":"2020","journal-title":"JAMA Netw.
