Abstract
The development of antiretroviral drugs and subsequent access to combined antiretroviral therapy contributes to the decline in morbidity and mortality rates associated with AIDS, resulting in an increased life expectancy and improved quality of life for people living with HIV. However, a cluster of metabolic derangements such as dyslipidemia is increasing, especially for those on ART. The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of dyslipidemia and its associated risk factors among HIV patients taking ART attending Mbarara Municipal Council Health Center IV.
