Response from Dr. Holodniy
You don't indicate how much weight you have gained and over what time frame. Although it is possible that your HIV meds might be contributing to weight gain, your mental meds, depression or other medical conditions ( like low thyroid function) could also be contributing to your condition. | ||||||||||
