Steroids

Hi . I think the main part of your question is "under a doctor's care." I need to note that we are not medical professions and, for your protection, cannot provide medical advice. I did find this Q&A concerning HIV and steroids, which notes the need for medical supervision and the potential for drug interactions: https://i-base.info/qa/6547. In addition, this research article found an increased risk of infection: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9203947/. I also found this older article on the potential to increase lean muscle mass: https://www.aidsmap.com/news/mar-2006/steroid-increases-lean-muscle-mass-hiv-positive-men-has-side-effects. Whatever you decide it is important to have those conversations with your doctor to take the best steps for you. Best, Richard (Team Member)
