About this study

Official title: Effect of Nutritional Intervention on the Lipid Profile of HIV-Positive Patients Who Start on Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy: a Randomized Trial

Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) in HIV-positive patients is associated with the development of dyslipidemia, a risk factor for cardiovascular events. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of dietary intervention in individuals who start HAART.

Read the detailed description

Adult patients prescribed to HAART that met the exclusion criteria were consecutively enrolled in a randomized trial:

  • control (receiving general guidelines on dietary education)
  • intervention (receiving general guidelines on dietary education and nutritional follow-up every 3 months)
