Background: Long-term use of antiretroviral therapy, especially dolutegravir and boosted-atazanavir, raises concerns about cardiovascular disease. Thus, this study aimed to assess lipid profiles, blood glucose, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels among people living with HIV on dolutegravir and ritonavir-boosted atazanavir-based therapy.

Methods: An institutional-based comparative cross-sectional study was conducted from November 4, 2021, to January 4, 2022.

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Gesese Bogale Awgichew"

  • - Gesese Bogale Awgichew's recent research focuses on the impact of specific antiretroviral therapy regimens, namely dolutegravir and ritonavir-boosted atazanavir, on cardiovascular risk factors among individuals living with HIV. * The study, conducted at Jimma University Medical Center in Ethiopia, aimed to evaluate serum lipid profiles, blood glucose levels, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels, which are important indicators of cardiovascular health. * Findings from the research contribute to the understanding of how long-term antiretroviral treatment may influence metabolic conditions and the broader implications for cardiovascular disease management in HIV-positive populations.
