Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the body fat distribution in Human Immunodeficiency Virus-1 (HIV-1) infected patients receiving, since the beginning and for at least two years, an antiretroviral therapy based on efavirenz or lopinavir/ritonavir and a combination of tenofovir plus emtricitabine (or lamivudine).

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Men and women aged ≥ 18 years with HIV-1 infection who are clinically stable and who were invited to participate in the study at a routine follow-up visit.
  • HIV-1 infected patients receiving since the beginning and continuously, for at least two years, initial antiretroviral therapy (ART) based on efavirenz (EFV) and a combination of tenofovir (TDF) + emtricitabine (FTC) [or lamivudine (3TC)] or HIV-1 infected patients receiving since the beginning and continuously, for at least two years, initial ART based on lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/r) and a combination of TDF +FTC (or 3TC).
  • Patients with an undetectable viral load, in response to the detection limit of each participating hospital defined in the last 6 months.
  • Patients who have given written informed consent to participate in this study [personal data collection and performance of dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA)].

Exclusion Criteria

  • Patients who have received at some point both efavirenz (EFV) and lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/r) in combination regimen or thereafter.
  • Patients who have had structured treatment interruptions (therapeutic holidays).
  • Patients with a body mass index <16 kg/m^2.
  • Patients with metallic prostheses or prosthetic material that could interfere with the measurement of dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA).
  • Patients with a history of plastic or repair surgery in the buttocks and breasts.
  • Patients with a diagnostic test with barium or radionucleotides, performed during the last month.
  • Pregnant women.
  • Patients treated with other agents under investigational phase.
  • Patients on current treatment with systemic corticosteroids or chemotherapy.
  • Diabetes mellitus and hypoglycaemic treatment.
  • Transsexualism (though implicit in prostheses and drugs).
  • Any drug taken chronically, which may alter the distribution of fat or adipocyte biology (insulin, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, etc).
  • Patient has undergone liposuction.
