A member asked:
My boyfriend is loosing weight and he is hiv positive, what can he use.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
HIV control: The first step is using the right treatment to control his HIV. Assuming the HIV is under control, he will need an evaluation to find out if he has another medical condition causing the weight loss- assuming he has at least a normal appetite.
