Brief Summary

HIV infection is associated with systemic inflammation that is involved in pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Treatment of HIV infection may cause lipid profile disturbance and consequently, atherosclerosis progression. In general, extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) has beneficial effect on atherosclerosis markers. Our goals are to examine the effect of EVOO on atherosclerosis markers in HIV-treated patients. A controlled randomized cross-over study will be performed on 40 participants. They will consume EVOO and ROO (refined olive oil) during two 20 days intervention periods, interrupted with 14 days wash-out period. Before the trial and after both intervention periods we will analyze participants' blood for: ESR, white blood cell count, hsCRP, interleukin-6, oxidized LDL, glutathione peroxidase, superoxide dismutase, malondialdehyde, triglycerides, total cholesterol, HDL and LDL cholesterol, fibrinogen, factor VII and von Willebrand factor. We expect an improvement of these parameters after three weeks of EVOO consumption.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • To assess whether consumption of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) leads to improvement of atherosclerosis biomarkers in persons receiving antiretroviral drugs.

    biomarker measurement before and after both intervention periods (20 days each)

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • To assess which atherosclerosis biomarkers are the most affected (inflammation, hypercoagulability, dislipidemia, endothelial dysfunction or oxidative stress) by EVOO consumption

    biomarker measurement before and after both intervention periods (20 days each)
