Response from Dr. Moyle
 You can find information on silicone at www.Facialwasting.org Silicone injections have not been reported to reduce the risk of lipodystrophy which is mostly a generalised problem. You decision to have this treatment should be independent of your HIV status. Good luck Graeme |
