 Combivir is a combination of AZT (zidovudine, Retrovir) and 3TC (lamivudine, Epivir). Fat loss has been linked to use of AZT. So switching from Combivir to a medication like Truvada would help prevent further fat loss and may also lead to some improvement. I hope this information helps and best of luck! | ||||||||
