Hi,

Thanks for your email. There are several different methods of calculating ‘ideal’ body weight. One of the most common ways to calculate the healthy weight range for somebody- HIV positive or negative- is using a measure called BMI.

Your weight is within the ‘healthy’ range for your height. You can check your BMI here.
