First seen Jun 04, 2026 · Last updated Jun 04, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether pravastatin, a cholesterol-lowering drug, is safe and effective for people with HIV who have high cholesterol from their HIV medications. 21 adults with well-controlled HIV took pravastatin or a placebo for 12 weeks. Researchers checked cholesterol levels, HIV virus levels, and safety. The goal was to manage a side effect of HIV treatment, not to cure HIV.
