Introduction:
HIV disease was transformed from a fatal condition to one with metabolic complications. In Mexico City, the associated factors for prediabetes in this population are unknown; investigating it is relevant to improve their quality of life.
Objective:
To determine the risk association factors for prediabetes in people living with HIV.
Material And Methods:
Cross-analytical, retrospective study. Records of patients living with HIV were reviewed, exposure factors and fasting glucose concentration were recorded. Patients from 18 to 65 years of age were included, on co-formulated antiretroviral treatment, without adjustment of antiretroviral treatment in the last two years, with a BMI of 18.5-40 kg/m2.
Results:
148 patients were included, 68 presented prediabetes. The factors with risk association that were identified are: age over 60 years (OR 9.48, 95% CI 1.68-40.13), treatment with Efavirenz/Tenofovir/Emtricitabine (OR 9.28, 95% CI 2.55-33.74) and treatment time antiretroviral older than 12 months (OR 2.53, 95% CI .912-7.041).
Conclusion:
The prevalence of prediabetes in people living with HIV is 46%. The main associated factor was the consumption of Atripla. This study has clinical relevance since it will allow the implementation of prevention, diagnosis and treatment strategies for prediabetes in order to reduce associated morbidity and mortality.

Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.
