Abstract

Adults living with HIV (ALHIV) are at increased risk of developing metabolic syndrome (MetS). Several factors are associated with an increase in MetS in these individuals, including certain antiretroviral therapies (ART). There is limited data on the prevalence of MetS among ALHIV in sub-Saharan Africa following scale up of newer integrase inhibitor-containing ART regimens.
