HIV assoc wt loss: (not necessarily in this order!) first you need to be on an appropriate haart regimen. The virus needs to be suppressed as low as possible. Second: a good physical exam to make sure you have no associated medical problems. Third: screening for mental health issues (depression, substance abuse); four: eval by a dietitian ; have diet hx ; calorie count. Lastly if no other causes meds for wt gain.
