 Thanks for your post. The answer is probably a mixture of both drugs and HIV are related to lipodystrophy; I believe that most people discount or forget about the role that HIV plays in this and tend to place all of the "blame" on the drugs. Rather than try and give you a comprehensive answer here, I'd suggest spending some time on TheBody.com's Lipodystrophy Resource Center. I hope this is helpful. BY | ||||||||
