Background and aim: The prevalence of hypertension is steadily increasing both in the general population and in patients living with HIV. The contributing factors are from one part identical to all and other parts linked to the HIV infection and its management. Given the complications related to ART, we list the cardiovascular risk factors, determine the proportion of hypertensive in people living with HIV before treatment with ART. Methods: this was a cross-sectional study carried out from January to May 2019 at the Boma hospital located south of Kinshasa in DR Congo. It included any patient who tested positive for HIV and over 18 years of age. The parameters of interest were; demographic data, lifestyle, anthropometric and biological measurements. Results: The prevalence of hypertension was 34.5%. Of the 115 patients with hypertension, 50 (43. 5%) knew their status and 65 (56.5%) were diagnosed during the study). low CD4 count (p=0.002), Diabetes mellitus (p=0.001), advanced age (p=0.001) and central obesity (p=0.009) emerged as mainrisk factors associated with hypertension in patients with HIV. Conclusion: hypertension is one of the cardiovascular risk factors present in seropositive patients and whose prevalence should attract the attention of both political and health authorities.
