Abstract
- Pleiotropic features are attributed to statins and fibrates, and effects on laboratory markers of HIV disease progression have been claimed. To assess whether statins/fibrates have long-term effects on the immune recovery of patients on virologically effective HAART, a prospective, comparative study was conducted on 267 dyslipidemic patients treated with either statins, fibrates, or on a dietary exercise programme only. Quarterly assessment of CD4 cell counts showed no differences between groups, thus excluding in-vivo negative immunological effects during effective HAART.
