Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection patients are often reported to be associated with changes of lipid metabolism.A previous study suspected that there was a correlation between low CD4+ T-lymphocyte counts with the lipid profile in HIV-infectedpatients. The objective of this study was to know the assessment of the lipid profile (total cholesterol, HDL, LDL and triglyceride) inpatients with HIV infection and their correlation with CD4+ T-Lymphocyte count. This study was conducted at the Hasan Sadikin Hospital,Bandung using retrospective data, and analysis method as the study design. The study was performed on 402 HIV-infected patients.A significant difference was found in all lipid parameters between patients with and without ART (p<0.05). Weak correlations werefound between CD4+ T-Lymphocyte with total cholesterol and HDL levels (r<0.04), and a very weak correlation as well with the LDLlevel (r<0.2). There was no correlation with the triglyceride levels (p=0.751). The lipid profile showed a weak correlation with CD4+T-Lymphocyte, therefore, it can not be used as a parameter to know the severity of disease relating to the HIV infection. However, it canbe useful for monitoring the metabolic effect of the given therapy, because there was a significant difference between those patients withand without ART.
