Response from Dr. Feinberg
 In my experience lactose intolerance is not uncommon among HIV+s, but there are no data that indicate it is the direct result of HIV itself. It may be due to a genetic predispostion, as lactose intolerance in general is higher in some racial/ethnic groups such as people of Asian or African descent. |
