Abstract

CONCLUSION: Hypertriglyceridaemia was the most common lipid profile abnormality in HIV-infected patients before HAART and after HAART. There is no significant alteration in T.Chol and HDL-C levels as such in both the groups. • The prevalence of Dyslipidaemia in HIV positive patients before starting HAART (Group 1) was 66.0%. • The prevalence of Dyslipidaemia in HIV positive patients on HAART (which includes stavudine, Lamivudine and nevirapine ) for atleast 1 year was 86.0% which confirms the effect of HAART on lipid profile. • There was no significant correlation of WHO stage, CD4 count with the alteration of lipid profile in both the groups. • Significant alteration in lipid profile can occur in PI-naïve patients on NRTI’s, NNRTI’s or combination of both.
