Abstract
- HIV infection causes blood levels of cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and LDL cholesterol to decrease, according to a study of 50 HIV-infected men. When the men began taking highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), blood levels of cholesterol and LDL cholesterol increased. This increase could be considered a return to baseline levels before the men became infected with HIV.
