Abstract | BACKGROUND: METHODS: RESULTS: HIV + individuals had slightly lower levels of IgM against MDA- LDL and higher levels of IgG against MDA- LDL, OxLDL, and total IgG, than HIV- controls. Anti-MDA- LDL and Anti- OxLDL IgG displayed a positive correlation with viral load and a negative correlation with the CD4+ T-cell count. HIV + individuals also displayed elevated CRP and soluble CD14 levels compared to HIV- individuals, but there were no correlations between CRP or soluble CD14 and specific antibodies. CONCLUSIONS:
