comments about my regimen dosage

[Guest guest]

thanks for all the feedback regarding my reduced dosage. I think if the general consensus is that the lipid friendly regimen will not likely cause any body changes (lipoatrophy/lipodystrophy), I will go back on the prescribed dosage. Fear of body changes are main reason I have not been compliant. Be well comrades.Don Kennedy

Body changes due to HIV meds can be very very drastic. This is exactly why we need to fight for insurance companies to cover the costs of procedures to help correct or ameliorate the deformaties which many on HIV meds experience. Women with breast cancer fought for it and succeeded. Now people on HIV meds must fight for it. It will, however, be a bit more difficult because of the stigmas carried by those who live with HIV.

The new drugs are highly unlikely to make things worse. There could even be some improvement, but I wouldn't hold my breath.JB
