N2 - Patients with HIV exhibit platelet activation and increased risk of cardiovascular disease, the prevention of which is not fully known. Fifty-five HIV-positive patients were randomized to clopidogrel, aspirin, or no-treatment for 14 days, and the platelet phenotype and ability to induce endothelial inflammation assessed. Clopidogrel as opposed to aspirin and no-treatment reduced platelet activation (P-selectin and PAC-1 expression). Compared with baseline, platelet-induced proinflammatory transcript expression of cultured endothelial cells were reduced in those assigned to clopidogrel, with no change in the aspirin and no-treatment arms. In HIV, clinical trials of clopidogrel to prevent cardiovascular disease are warranted.
