	When HIV-positive people first started showing symptoms of lipoatrophy in the late 1990s, Dr. Bob Frascino witnessed the changes first-hand -- not only in his patients, but also in himself, as he's been living with HIV since 1991. Dr. Frascino recalls lipoatrophy's early years, when few doctors realized the impact of their patients' shrinking faces and bodies. Listen to excerpt (27 min.)



	When Ford Warrick sets his mind to do something, there's nothing stopping him. When his mental health clients began asking him why his face looked so different, he did a whole lot of research and flew to Brazil to get his face and behind fixed. Listen to excerpt (24 min.)

	Jim Shea explains how he got his health insurance to pay for the cost of Sculptra, the only approved form of lipoatrophy treatment in the United States. He also describes how well Sculptra worked for him. Listen to excerpt (30 min.)

	Dr. Bob Frascino has dealt with lipoatrophy from both sides of the doctor's table: He not only treats HIVers with lipoatrophy, but as an HIV-positive person since 1991, he's also experienced lipoatrophy himself. Listen to excerpt (10 min.)

	John is a physician with facial lipoatrophy, and he's not only researched many methods to treat the complication, he's tried them. He discusses the ins and outs of many reconstructive procedures. Listen to excerpt (50 min.)

	For Maxwell Lawton, gaining and maintaining weight is a sacred act. He discusses his use of exercise, testosterone and Marinol as weight maintenance tools. Listen to excerpt (17 min.)



	Dr. Ben Young describes the advice and support he gives to his own patients when they develop lipoatrophy. Listen to excerpt (6 min.)

	Dr. Bob Frascino offers his unique perspective on coping and getting treatment. Listen to excerpt (24 min.)
