Type 2 diabetes prevalence and its risk factors in HIV: A cross-sectional study.
Alastair D DuncanLouise M GoffBarry S PetersPublished in: PloS one (2018)
The alarmingly high prevalence of T2D in HIV requires improved screening, targeted to older patients and those with a longer duration of exposure to antiretrovirals. Effective diabetes prevention and management strategies are needed urgently to reduce this risk; such interventions should target both conventional risk factors, such as abdominal obesity, and HIV-specific risk factors such as weight gain following initiation of antiretrovirals.
