Lipoatrophy (changes in body fat) in resource poor settings

[Guest guest]

Dear FORUM Members,

We at NAM (aidsmap and HIV/AIDS Treatment in Practice) are planning an issue on

lipoatrophy/lipodystrophy (changes in body fat)) and its management in resource

poor settings.

We would welcome the perspective and experience of people living with HIV with

the issues.

What has been the impact of body fat changes on your lives?

How have individuals dealt with body fat changes?

How has it been managed and how have physicians responded?

Given the lack of research and evidence we believe it important to communicate

this perspective to both physicians and policy makers.

Many thanks in advance for your help. Much appreciated.

Best,

Carole
