About

Individuals infected with HIV have a high risk of developing metabolic comorbidities not traditionally associated with the immune dysregulation and deficiency associated with HIV infection and AIDS. Many of these comorbidities in HIV uninfected individuals have been linked to a disordered circadian clock function. The study investigators will further evaluate the circadian clock in HIV infection as a mechanism underlying the metabolic dysregulation in this population.
