False. High-Density Lipoproteins (HDL) are often referred to as "good" cholesterol because they help remove other forms of cholesterol, including Low-Density Lipoproteins (LDL), from the bloodstream and reduce the risk of atherosclerotic plaques forming on arterial walls. HDL plays a protective role in heart health, unlike LDL, which is associated with plaque buildup.

HDL cholesterol is not a symptom, it is a type of cholesterol that occurs in your body and makes up part of your overall cholesterol score.
