Response from Dr. Fisher
 Are the triglycerides related to antiretrovirals?? If so you could talk to your MD about possibly changing the treatment regimen. But we really don't know what to do about TG's even when very high (over 1000). Some medications like lopid or lipitor might help. The exercise and diet are the most important things.
