Stavudine-containing antiretroviral regimens are widely used in developing countries. Stavudine-associated lipodystrophy commonly occurs, without a clear predictable pattern owing to the unknown interaction between stavudine and the host, among patients who received this regimen. The aim of this study was to determine the clinical risk factors and human leukocyte antigen (HLA) alleles associated with stavudine-associated lipodystrophy.
