Effects of Treatment Changes on Fat Wasting in the Arms and Legs of HIV Patients

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: HIV Infections, Lipodystrophy, Wasting Disease

In brief

The goals of this study are to find out if fat wasting and weight loss in the arms and legs of HIV patients taking highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) are caused by nucleoside/nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) and if wasting can be reversed if the NRTI is stopped and replaced with other anti-HIV drugs.
