Background: Scientific evidence shows that the use of anthropometry through anthropometric indicators of body fat, has the ability to detected even small changes in body composition in individuals with HIV/AIDS, can be a toll in clinical practice, with good applicability and cost-effective, supporting the diagnosis of HIV Lipodystrophy Syndrome (SLHIV). Objective: the objective of this study is to develop cutoffs by anthropometry, for the diagnosis of SLHIV. Methodology: random sample cross-sectional study with consecutive patients treated at a clinic for infectious diseases of the central region of Rio Grande do Sul. Body composition will be accessed through the weight, height, body circumferences and skinfolds thicknesses. The clinical status of individuals will be assessed through a survey in the medical record. The development of normative will be based on the cut point verified by curves of Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC - curves)
