Lipid and Lipoprotein Profile in HIV-Infected and Non-Infected Diabetic Patients: A Comparative Cross-Sectional Study Design, Southwest Ethiopia

Abstract

High prevalence lipid and lipoprotein abnormalities were detected in HIV-infected diabetic patients even though the abnormalities were also common in non-HIV co-morbid diabetic patients. Hence, proactive screening and treatment of blood glucose, lipid, and lipoprotein abnormalities are critically important and should be part of comprehensive HIV care.
