Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, and the anti-retroviral therapy (ART) associated complications necessitate that the medical care system keeps evolving for proper management of this group of patients. Electrolyte imbalance and sleep problems are common in patients on ART.

Therefore, screening for both sleep problems and electrolytes imbalance may help to decrease the risk of complications in patients on ART.
