Denied
The Board denied service connection for the claimed conditions as there was no persuasive evidence of a current disability.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran had a present cardiovascular disability, right ear hearing loss, HIV, left hip strain, left knee disability, or left leg disability related to his military service.
