  ABSTRACT: Background: Managing hypertriglyceridemia in HIV-infected patients often requires multiple pharmacologic strategies. Many protease inhibitors (PIs), one of 6 classes of drugs used to treat HIV, have been associated with hypercholesterolemia and drug interactions. For this study, we examined a dual strategy to manage hypertriglyceridemia in HIV-infected patient taking PIs: 1) switching patients to fosamprenavir (FPV), a PI with fewer drug interactions, and 2) adding prescription fish oil (LOVAZA?), which has been shown to reduce triglycerides. Methods: This multicenter, 24-week study enrolled 36 patients virologically suppressed (HIV-1 RNA
