 There hasn't been a clear link between any of the HIV drugs and a hypercoagulable state though protease inhibitors can lead to an increased risk of bleeding in hemophilia patients. Increased risk for deep vein thrombosis or thrombotic thrombocytopenia purpura have been reported in the setting of HIV infection but not generally related to antiretroviral therapy. KH | ||||||||
