%X objective: this study aimed to evaluate the body fat content of hiv patients according to the duration of antiretroviral therapy use (durarv), < 1 year and > 1 year. methods: multiple linear regression was used to investigate the association between ultrasonographic variables of body fat compartments (bfcs) of the face, arm, subcutaneous and visceral abdomen, and the following explanatory variables: gender, age, bmi, and durarv. results: of all patients (187), 102 of them with durarv > 1 year were suffering from hiv-related lipodystrophy (hiv-ld), diagnosed through clinical questionnaires. those with durarv < 1 year (n = 85, = 46%) did not have hiv-ld. regarding the visceral compartment, the difference between those with durarv > 1 year and < 1 year was 11 mm of additional fat content in those with durarv > 1 year. women had more fat than men in all peripheral bfcs, while men had 7.2 mm more visceral fat than women, on average. conclusion: ultrasonography is a method capable of measuring the thickness of bfcs and is applicable to clinical practice to diagnose hiv-ld.
