Hi<\/p>\n
Without details of your weight loss, over which time and your normal weight, it is difficult to provide individual information. Unexplained weight loss of more than 5% of your body weigh over 6 months is something that your doctor needs to try to explain..<\/p>\n
If you are now on treatment then neither HIV not the meds are likely to be causing body changes. This is because there is so little HIV and because this isn;t a side affect of HIV meds.<\/p>\n
The only exception is if your combination includes a drug called stavudine. If the medicine package shows stavudine, then ask your doctor about\u00a0changing to a different drug.<\/p>\n
Otherwise, everything you would do to build muscle mass is the same as for someone who is HIV negative. Take advice from a health trainer at a gym for this. It usually involves eating higher carbohydrates and proteins and building up resistance exercise.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
