Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how common dyslipidemia (abnormal lipid levels) is among HIV patients undergoing highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) in a public hospital in Peru.
- After analyzing 2,975 clinical histories, 538 patients were included, revealing a high dyslipidemia prevalence of 74.7%.
- Findings indicated that using protease inhibitors and being over 40 years old increased the risk of dyslipidemia, highlighting the need for better monitoring and control of lipid levels in HIV care.
