Effect of Low Dose Methotrexate on Arterial Inflammation in HIV
Description: PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: HIV-infected individuals on effective antiretroviral therapy are at increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk because of persistent inflammation. This study will test the hypothesis that inflammation drives CVD risk in HIV infection by evaluating the effects of reducing inflammation using low-dose methotrexate on arterial inflammation and immune activation in treated HIV-infected individuals.
