[Prevalence of metabolic complications after 10 years of antiretroviral treatment in Senegal].

Among the patients of the cohort still followed after a median of 9 years of antiretroviral treatment (ART), 37% had lipodystrophy, 28% had hypertension and 14% presented with diabetes. This study confirms the association between stavudine and lipodystrophy particulary lipoatrophy and shows that a longer duration of ART was associated with the presence of diabetes. These results highlight the need to implement programs for prevention of cardiovascular risk factors in HIV patients from resource-constrained settings.
