A retrospective cross-sectional study of 178 adults was done. There were 105 HIV-infected patients on antiretroviral therapy and 73 HIV-infected patients without antiretroviral therapy. The serum levels of total cholesterol, viral load and CD4+ count were determined every three months. Patients with 1-2 stages of HIV-infection had higher total cholesterol level, CD4+ count and lower viral load than patients with 3-4 stages of HIV-infection (p<0,01). These patients did not treat ART. The total cholesterol levels had inverse correlation with the viral load in all the stages of HIV infection. Patients with 1-2 stages of HIV-infection had higher total cholesterol levels and lower viral load than patients with 3-4 stages of HIV-infection. Therefore total cholesterol levels may serve as indicators of disease progression in HIV infection.
