Yes! Egrifta SV is an FDA-approved injectable medication specifically designed to reduce excess belly fat in people with HIV who have lipodystrophy (that "hard belly" effect). It works by helping your body release more of its own growth hormone to break down that stubborn abdominal fat.

Some myHIVteam members have shared their experiences with it:

- "I started EGRIFTA SV last month. They say should see improvement starting after four months. We'll see."
- "I used Egrifta for about a year and a half with no change."
- "Ask your doctor about Egrifta. It has helped me with my hard belly fat."

The key takeaway from members is to be patient — results can take several months, and they vary from person to person. Regarding cost help, there are options available through the THERA Patient Support Program:

- Private/commercial insurance — a Co-Pay Assistance Program may lower out-of-pocket costs
- Government insurance or no insurance — financial assistance options are available
- THERA Patient Assistance Program — qualifying people may receive the medication at no cost

You can reach them at (Phone number can only be seen by the question and answer creators) or visit the THERA patient support website for more details. It's also worth knowing some common side effects to watch for:

- Joint or muscle pain
- Injection site redness or itching
- Swelling in the arms or legs

Make sure to keep your doctor updated on how you're feeling throughout treatment. 💉
