We conducted a nested case‐control study of ABPM in 137 PWH and HIV‐uninfected controls with normal and high clinic blood pressure (BP) in Tanzania. Nocturnal non‐dipping of heart rate (HR) was significantly more common among PWH than HIV‐uninfected controls (p = .01). Nocturnal non‐dipping of BP was significantly more common in PWH with normal clinic BP (p = .048). Clinical correlates of nocturnal non‐dipping were similar in PWH and HIV‐uninfected adults and included higher BMI, higher CD4+ cell count, and high C‐reactive protein for HR and markers of renal disease for BP. In conclusion, nocturnal non‐dipping of both BP and HR was more common in PWH but further research is …
