Physical changes to your body

As HIV disease progresses in your body, you may notice physical changes. Some changes may occur as side-effects of medical treatment for HIV. Others may occur as a result of the impact that HIV (or AIDS) has on your body.

Body fat changes

Some medications you may take to control HIV cause changes in the way your body produces, uses, and stores fat. These changes are called lipodystrophy. This condition causes you to gain or lose fat in particular parts of your body.

You can get extra fat in the following places:

  • Abdomen
  • Neck
  • Breasts (both men and women)
  • Face
  • In addition, you can also develop small deposits of fat, called lipomas, elsewhere on your body.
