Abstract

Use of antiretrovirals is associated to body fat accumulation. We measured body composition in adolescents living with HIV switched to a dolutegravir-containing regimen. Trunk fat and trunk/body fat ratio markedly increased after 12 months. Total and low density lipoprotein cholesterol decreased after 3 months. Increase in trunk fat may put at risk of future cardiovascular problems, despite improvement in the lipid profile.
