 Most patients actually do OK clinicaly with triglyceride levels around 400. It sounds like you are already doing many of the things that usually provides some benefit. If you are on antiretroviral therapy that is linked to high triglycerides then a discussion with your HIV specialist about what if any switch options are reasonable for you would be recommended.
