Metabolic Abnormalities - HIV Infected and Uninfected Males

Completed

Brief Summary: To assess whether there exist significant differences in glucose metabolism, lipids, lactate, body composition, and bone density between HIV-infected and uninfected young men.

Detailed Description: The study involves a one-time collection of health and medical history data, blood and urine specimens, and physical assessments. This study will elucidate the need for a further in-depth study to understand the pathophysiological effects of protease inhibitor (PI)-based and non-nucleoside analogue reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI)-based therapies in young men.
