Lipodystrophy and Treatment During Acute HIV Infection Stage Jun 16, 2003 I was exposed to the HIV virus about 5 weeks ago. I'm now considering antiviral treatment. However, since I've never been on any HIV medication, I would prefer to be on the combination that has the least chance of producing lipodystrophy. I understand I'll most likely be on the medication for 12 months before taking a break. |

Response from Dr. Moyle
 The risk of lipoatrophy on any of the meds is low (say <5%) over one year and may be especially low if you are young (<40 yo) and start with a CD4 greater than 200. Limiting use of d4T and protease inhibitors should further limit risk Best Wishes Graeme |
