Objective: To assess the five- and ten-year cardiovascular disease risk in HIV-positive patients on antiretroviral therapy, using the Framingham risk score and the Data collection on adverse effects of anti-HIV drugs (D:A:D) study. Materials and methods: An observational prospective cross-sectional study. HIV-positive patients on antiretroviral treatment from a referral center for HIV patients were included in the study between January 1 and April 30, 2019. A five- and ten-year cardiovascular risk assessment was performed using the Framingham risk score and the D:A:D study. Additionally, both risk models were compared through statistical models. Results: The study population consisted of 159 patients with a mean age of 48.90 years ± 9.90. The mean cardiovascular risk according to the five-year Framingham risk score was 2.70 % ± 2.80, the ten-year Framingham risk score was 6.10 % ± 5.7...
