Abstract: Dyslipidemia is a prevalent condition that affects patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) who are receiving antiretroviral therapy. These preliminary recommendations summarize the current understanding in this area and propose guidelines for management. Existing guidelines for the management of dyslipidemia in the general population formed the general basis for our recommendations. Data on the prevalence and treatment of dyslipidemia of HIV-infected patients, implications of treatment-related dyslipidemia in other chronically ill populations, and pharmacokinetic profiles for the available hypolipidemic agents in non-HIV populations were considered. Although the implications of dyslipidemia in this population are not fully known, the frequency, type, and magnitude of lipid alterations in HIV-infected people are expected to result in increased cardiovascular morbidity. We propose that these patients undergo evaluation and treatment on the basis of existing guidelines for dyslipidemia, with the caveat that avoidance of interactions with antiretroviral agents is paramount.

Abstract: The availability of potent combination antiretroviral therapy has changed the long-term prognosis for people living with HIV/AIDS. There is increasing concern, however, about the effect of HIV therapy on lipid disorders and subsequent development of coronary artery disease. Virtually all classes of antiretroviral drugs have been associated with some aspect of atherogenic changes in the lipid profiles. This article reviews the current literature on HIV-associated dyslipidemias and the metabolic syndrome, their potential effect on future coronary heart disease, and reviews strategies for management.
