The FDA approved in March 2024 Semaglutide aka Wegovy/Olympic for cardiovascular health treatment (high blood pressure, cholesterol ldl/helps,) AND studies have shown to reduce inflammation, liver enzyme , glucose issues (nonalcohol related fatty liver). This med is currently approved with medicare and hopefully medicaid. Adipose redistribution, fat gained/losses in areas should also improve as losing weight with this med is going to help. Weight gain is normal and annoying but better than illness.....but it is the antivirals that cause the metabolic issues...so do some research, reading on this GLP-1 medication that can help PLWH improve their health, quality of life and person self-esteem. I hope this helps give you some hope that there is opportunity for a remedy to all of the side effects that may be problematic not only physically but with your overall mental/emotional well-being...
