Blood pressure change in HIV positive and HIV negative groups between low and high salt diets. The hypertensive had a median systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) change of a 15.5 mmHg and c 8.5 mmHg (p < 0.0001) in the HIV positive group while SBP and DBP change in HIV negative group was b 17.0 mmHg and d 9.0 mmHg, (p < 0.001). Normotensive groups exhibited the least SBP and DBP changes of e 2.0 mmHg (p = 0.1705) and g 1.0 mmHg (p = 0.4264) in the HIV positive group and f 4.0 mmHg (p = 0.0466) and h 2.0 mmHg (p = 0.1671) in the HIV negative group. Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed-rank test used. HS, high salt; LS, low salt
