HIV weight loss
Weight loss in Hiv+ persons with a cd4 count >900 and a viral load below 50. What are the causes of body wastage and how can this be prevented?
CyberDoc
Thabo, I think you will have to look for causes other than HIV like thyroid problems. The best would be to see your doctor and to have him do some blood tests to determine the cause. Good luck.
