| Response from Dr. Holodniy
 I think you need to separate out HIV wasting syndrome associated with advanced AIDS and lipodystrophy syndrome that is manifested by some people as lipoatrophy or fat loss, particularly in the arms, legs and face. It has more often been associated with protease inhibitors and d4T (zerit) than the meds you are currently taking. | |||||||||
