if I stop my treatment will I lose weight?
Thank you ! now I know the risk I appreciate your answer. Juan
1) Sooner or later the answer would be yes, but your viral load will be in the millions and you will have advanced HIV called AIDS. AIDS will be no picnic in the park. You will have body wasting and you'll look like a skeleton. Then you'll be bedridden and depend on everyone for everything because you'll have no strength to do anything yourself.

I have HIV, but I've gained a lot of weight with the treatment. My question is, can I use Ozempic to lose weight? I don't have diabetes.
I'm about to start ART, I'm optimistic but I want to know what to expect… if I follow it correctly there won't be any side effects, should I expect any illnesses?
