Brief Summary:
To assess the use of pravastatin in hypercholesterolemic HIV-infected patients treated with protease inhibitors in a randomised double blind study.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
HIV Infection Hypercholesterolemia Drug: Pravastatin (drug) Phase 2

Detailed Description:

Background. Highly Active AntiRetroviral Therapy including protease inhibitors is associated with elevated plasma lipid levels.

Design. randomized double-blind, multicentric.

Intervention. Pravastatin versus placebo for 12 weeks.

Eligibility criteria. Positive for anti-VIH antibodies, stable antiretroviral therapy including at least one PI for >= 3 months, plasma HIV-RNA level of < 50 copies/mL for >= 3 months before randomization, total cholesterol >= 5.5 mmol/L with LDL-cholesterol >= 3.4 mmol/L on fasting status after three months of standardized dietary advice, written informed consent

Outcomes. HIV RNA at 12 weeks
