To the Editor: Resting energy expenditure has been variably reported as increased,¹ inconsistently elevated,² and decreased³ in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. The determinants of this variability are not yet understood. Given the evidence that viral load has a strong influence on the progression of HIV infection,⁴ we evaluated the relation between viral load and resting energy expenditure in a diverse group of 36 HIV-positive men studied while they were relatively stable clinically.

The patients fasted overnight and abstained from caffeine and nicotine on the morning of the study. After arriving at the General Clinical Research Center at . . . [Full Text of this Article]
