Abstract:"Background: Combination antiretroviral therapy (CART) frequently induces the metabolic syndrome (MS), a cluster of risk factors for atherosclerosis. Distal sensory polyneuropathy (DSPN) is the commonest nervous system complication of HIV and CART. We studied the cross-sectional association between MS and CART in the CHARTER cohort.
