Abstract: The 3rd International Conference on Nutrition and HIV Infection emphasized lipodystrophy and the metabolic implications of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Several presentations challenged the idea that protease inhibitors alone caused lipodystrophy. The way lipodystrophy manifests itself appears to differ by gender; study results were described. The impact of dietary fat on elevated blood lipids was also discussed. The use of human growth hormone as a treatment was explored.
