There were several studies done for the prevalence and pattern of dyslipidaemia in HIV patient but most of them were conducted in urban setting and there was no study done from western HIV population in India in rural set up to show the lipid profile in HIV patient.

Keeping in view of this, the biochemical abnormalities associated with lipid metabolism, our research was inclined to assess the lipid profile in HIV patients. This study will also add our knowledge that whether the lipid profile has any role in the disease progression of HIV AIDS.

Keywords: Lipid profile ART, HIV, dyslipidemia, biochemical abnormalities.
