Response from Dr. Feinberg
 If you have experienced breast enlargement while on HIV meds, this is not an accumulation of fluid but of fat. Unfortunately, it has proven very difficult to change this, largely because we don't really know what about the drugs and/or HIV disease itself causes this redistribution of body fat to occur. This syndrome is called "lipodystrophy", meaning abnormal deposition of fat in various areas of the body. |
