 Hello and thank you for your post. Weight loss can be a symptom of HIV infection, but it's important to bear in mind that there are many causes of weight loss. Among persons with HIV-associated weight loss (sometimes called "wasting"), HIV treatments are very effective in halting and reversing. People living with HIV today can expect to live normal quality of life- including attending college, working and yes, even paying taxes. Be well, BY | ||||||||
