Purpose of the guideline: In recent years, the number of newly identified HIV/AIDS patients in China has been increasing, and the risk of HIV infection in major populations continues to rise. ASCVD(arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease) is the most common form of NAD(non-AIDS-defining disease) in HIV/AIDS patients and the leading cause of non-AIDS related death, which greatly increases the burden of AIDS disease and seriously affects the life expectancy and long-term prognosis of HIV/AIDS patients. ASCVD is the most common combination of NAD in HIV/AIDS patients and the leading cause of non-AIDS related deaths. Currently, there is no AIDS-specific expert consensus guiding the lipid management of HIV/AIDS patients receiving long-term ART in China. Based on this situation, we invited experts in the field of infectious diseases and cardiovascular disease in China to compile a Chinese expert consensus on comprehensive lipid management for patients with HIV/AIDS, taking into account the actual antiviral treatment and cutting-edge basic/clinical research results in China.
