More are prone to Lipodystrophy, or visceral fat accumulation in your belly making it look bigger or fat accumulation in fat in upper back, who took Crixivan early on.

Are You A Caregiver? Or Do You Have A Caregiver?
Caregiving is very much underappreciated. It could be a daunting task depending on each individual situation.
How do you feel taking care of another person or if you are the person being taken care of, how does that make you feel?
Never been good at being a patient. I try. I like to do for others though . I can do my part but I'm no nurse. I think nurses are the best.
Do Anyone Have Lipodystrophy???
I've had a buffalo hump since the late 90's. My limbs are thinner than normal.
I'd like to blame my big belly on crixivan, but that would be a lie. π

Early Treatment
As we all know guidelines are to start ARV medication as soon as possible which gives you a close to normal life span. With that being said there are many long term survivors who were on toxic meds. such as protease inhibitors in the late 90s that were really not good. And many of these people had hiv for 5 to 10 years before there was protease inhibitors and they were on AZT which we can all agree was a failure. From what I read on here and other places many of these people are still alive 30β¦ read more
