A member asked:
How many years after someone gets aids do they usually start to lose weight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Before effective treatment, children would go several months to a few years before the weight loss began, while adults typically would have 6-10 years after infection before weight loss appeared. It's variable, and today with reliable treatment, most people with HIV can be kept from this.
