The purposes of this study are to find out if: metformin can be combined with anti-HIV drugs
to reduce systemic inflammation measured by the determination of cytokines and other series
of serum markers. To determine if the concomitant administration of metformin with TARA
improves the immune function on the CD4 T cell count and its relation with the CD8 T cells,
during the treatment and after its interruption.
To this end, in the present study, patients with prediabetes (who meet the fasting impaired
glucose criteria) will be identified and treated with metformin or placebo for 8 weeks,
receiving stable TARA and with a CD4 + level> 200 cells / μL.
40 patients from the HIV Unit of the Civil Hospital of Guadalajara "Fray Antonio Alcalde"
will be included in this study and the intervention will last 8 weeks.
