HIV and Cholesterol

I had a blood test and my doctor said I was borderline to high cholesterol. Does this indicate I have HIV? I had one time exposure to unprotected sex. Tested negative at 8 weeks so far.

to tell the truth about cholesteral and hiv, alot of hiv infected without being on meds have low cholesteral but than some have normal, its not until you go on meds that it goes up and also cheeseburger dont help

No it indicates you need to lay off the lard.
Just say no to the pies.

You are at risk of heart disease unless you take action to reduce cholestorol levels in your blood. You and much of the Western World.

Is this thread for real? If so I am sorry but is is comical to try to link high cholesterol to HIV. Cholesterol comes from too many double cheeseburgers at Mickey d's, lol.
