Abstract
Indeed metabolic disorder have become one of the principal concern in the management of HIV patients: presence of metabolic syndrome, which promotes NAFLD, increased in HIV-infected patients from 19.4% in 2000–2001 to 41.6% in 2006–2007 [5,6]. Few data studied the prevalence of NAFLD among HIV monoinfected patients, which is reported higher than in general population and varies between 31%-37% [7].
