Geneva, IL

Unfortunately, many long term and/or untreated HIV patients develop some form of cancer. Have you experienced this?

A myHIVteam Member

I don't think so. At one point, I was told that I had the early stages of multiple myeloma but several years later, I was told that my extremely high IgG level was due to HIV, so I don't know.

I Have Had HIV For Almost 20 Years. I Have Slowly Gained Weight Through The Years But I Am Hardly Every Hungry. Any Else Like This?

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Brea, CA

Year 2 of my meds my doc already started seeing signs of weight gain. I am never really hungry but I slowly keep putting on the pounds. The past 2 years I have been going to the gym and I can feel the muscle growth under all the fat. I eat high protein low carb but no real change. It's rare that I drink soda or alcohol. It's frustrating.

Your hiv med. make you gain weight
