Use of ART containing HIV PIs has previously been associated with toxicity in subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT), potentially contributing to the development of lipodystrophy and insulin resistance. However, the effect of PIs on SAT function in ART-naive patients independent of other ART classes is unknown. This study aimed to elucidate the effect of initiating PI-only ART on SAT function in ART-naive subjects.
