Efficacy and safety outcomes of bariatric surgery were similar between people living with HIV (PLWH) and controls, except for the lack of improvement in dyslipidemia in PLWH. At 1-year post-surgery, 89% of PLWH achieved ≥20% total weight loss, compared to 94% of controls. Improvement rates in hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus were lower in PLWH, and full remission rates were also lower in this group. However, PLWH had lower rates of surgical complications compared to controls.
