- Abstract
* Objective: To review the metabolic complications of HIV infection. * Methods: Review of the literature in the context of 3 clinical cases. * Results: People with HIV infection are living longer thanks to the advent of potent antiretroviral therapy. This has led to increased incidence of age-related metabolic complications, including a higher risk of cardiovascular disease, hyperlipidemia, metabolic syndrome, and osteoporosis. Appropriate management of these complications requires an understanding of disease-related and drug-related side effects as well as the potential for drug-drug interactions. A multidisciplinary approach to patient management is most effective. * Conclusion: Awareness of the metabolic complications frequently encountered in HIV infection, drug interactions, and possible toxicities is critical to the successful management of HIV-infected individuals.
