Abstract
Human immunodeficiency syndrome is now treated with combinations of powerful antiretroviral medications, whose use can lead to a variety of toxic side effects. The primary care practitioner is becoming of increasing importance in the management of HIV disease, and should be familiar with the more important and frequently encountered of these complications. Metabolic disturbances, including fat maldistribution syndrome, dyslipidemia and insulin resistance; nucleoside-related toxicities, including liver disease and lactic acidemia; and medication-related skin rashes, are discussed in this review article. Clinical presentation, management, and fit of these abnormalities into the larger picture of HIV disease and cardiovascular risk are summarized.
