Abstract
Objectives: Timely control of hypertension is vital to prevent comorbidities. We evaluated the association of race/ethnicity and HIV infection with incident hypertension outcomes, including awareness, treatment, and control.
Design: We evaluated cisgender women living with HIV and sociodemographically matched women living without HIV recruited into four Southern sites of the Women's Interagency HIV Study (WIHS) (2013-2019).
Methods: We calculated measurements of the time to four events or censoring: incident hypertension, hypertension awareness, hypertension treatment, and hypertension control. Hazard ratios for race/ethnicity and HIV status were calculated for each outcome using Cox proportional-hazards models adjusted for sociodemographic, behavioral, and clinical risk factors.
Results: Among 712 women, 56% were hypertensive at baseline. Forty-five percentage of the remaining women who were normotensive at baseline developed incident hypertension during follow-up. Non-Hispanic white and Hispanic women had faster time to hypertension control compared with non-Hispanic black women ( P = 0.01). In fully adjusted models, women living with HIV who were normotensive at baseline had faster time to treatment compared with normotensive women living without HIV ( P = 0.04).
Conclusion: In our study of women in the US South, non-Hispanic black women became aware of their hypertension diagnosis more quickly than non-Hispanic white and Hispanic women but were slower to control their hypertension. Additionally, women living with HIV more quickly treated and controlled their hypertension compared with women living without HIV.
