Changes in lipoprotein particle concentrations, especially greater small low-density lipoprotein particle (LDL-p) and lower small high-density lipoprotein particle (HDL-p) may provide information regarding cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk above and beyond that which is provided by standard lipids. We quantified the association HIV and HAART use had with LDL-p and HDL-p.
