Methods. This prospective study was carry out at University Hospital Center ?Mother TERESA?, which included adults patients diagnosed with HIV / AIDS, who are treated with one of two following treatment: non nucleoside and nukleozid inhibitor (non-PI) and the other with PI, from 2011 till 2013. Were included only the patients who had data on CD4+ T-lymphocyte counts and BMI in Baseline and after, 6, 12, 24 months, in their file. The data were analized through the SPSS 17. Results. : We had studied 89 patients, which were measured BMI and CD4. Patients who where treated with PI have an significant increased of BMI compared with patients who treated with non-PI.
