NCT01612858

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between insulin resistance and changes in body fat distribution in HIV-infected persons. This study measures insulin sensitivity, abdominal fat, and intramuscular fat in HIV-infected persons and examines the effect of an anti-diabetic drug (metformin or pioglitazone) on insulin sensitivity and body fat in this population.
