To assess atrial fibrillation (AF) risk factors in people with HIV, we identified incident AF in a large clinical cohort of people receiving care. Compared with 970 controls without AF, the 97 with adjudicated incident AF were older, less likely Hispanic, and had more coronary disease, heart failure, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. In multivariable analysis, non-use of antiretroviral therapy and prescription of antiretroviral regimens with multiple core agents were associated with increased AF risk.
