  1. IDU, intravenous drug users; HAART, highly active antiretroviral therapy; HDL, high density lipoprotein; IMT, intima-media thickness; OARI, ophthalmic artery resistance index. All data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation. A p-value of < 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant.
