Answer
If you have lost weight without intending to, then you need to talk to your doctor.
Your doctor needs to see whether the weight loss is related to HIV or to other causes.
If you are not on treatment, then starting ARVs increases weight lost caused by HIV and some other infections.
Finding the underlying cause is important. Your doctor can then help your with information on diet that can also help.
