Will my weight change after starting ART?

Hi . Please know that people in this community understand the stress of receiving a diagnosis. It is good that you have sought out a place for support and information. Concerning weight, I want to share with you this article from our editorial team on "Weight Gain and HIV Treatment:" https://h-i-v.net/clinical/weight-gain. It notes that "Weight gain can be a positive result of beginning treatment, especially for those who lost a lot of weight from HIV. Scientists call this a "return to health" effect." Of course, every case is different, but regaining lost weight is certainly a possibility. I also want to share with you this page which collected some of our top articles for the newly diagnosed: https://h-i-v.net/newly-diagnosed. I hope this information is helpful and please feel free, if you like, to keep us posted on how you are doing and to ask questions - this community is here for you. Best, Richard (Team Member)
