Biktarvy And Losing Mass In Legs And Butt?

Hello everyone. Does anyone know if Biktarvy can redistribute body fat? I’ve been positive for one year, only ever been on Biktarvy. My body shape is changing so dramatically and it’s a little scary. All my fat seems to have moved to my abdomen, while my legs and butt have become way skinnier. I haven’t lost weight. In fact, I’ve gained a few pounds.
Is this reason to consider switching medications? I’m so upset as I don’t recognize myself anymore. :/

Has Anyone Else Experienced Significant Weight Gain With Genvoya?

I was previously on Atripla and my doc switched me to Genvoya at the beginning of last year. There was no reason to switch except Genvoya was the top one a day.

Since being on the new drug, I have gained a significant amount of weight. To the tune of 60 pounds. On top of that, I’ve experienced weird itching all over my body.

Has anyone else gone through this? I don’t want to be on this if this is a side effect.

Lipodystrophy

When I was diagnosed with AIDS last year (July '17) I weighed 150 lbs. Since then I have gained almost 50 lbs. I watched a video on Poz.com about lipodystrophy and I'm wondering if that is what is happening with me.

I have other health issues which keeps me from serious exercise but I do walk 6-10 miles a day for several months and still have not been able to lose more than 6 lbs. I have even improved my diet to add more protein and cut down on carbs and sugars.

Shortly after I began seeing… read more
