  1. HIV seronegative volunteers who received or not lovastatin (40 mg/day) or atorvastatin (20 mg/day) during 45 days, were evaluated at 0, 7, 30 and 45 days of treatment by flow cytometry. NS, No statistically significant difference. †: Statistical analysis performed comparing day 7 and day 45 of treatment; £: Statistical difference obtained comparing day 7 and day 30 of treatment.
