Popis: Conclusions: Upon the initiation of DTG, discernible elevations were observed in body weight, BMI and lipid levels. This study represents the first comprehensive assessment of lipid profiles and weight gain among this population in Zimbabwe, filling a critical gap in the existing literature. These findings, while indicative of short-term effects, underscore the imperative for further investigative efforts aimed at elucidating the prolonged consequences associated with DTG-induced weight gain and increased lipid levels and its underlying mechanisms.
