Muscle Wasting

[needhelp6]

How soon after HIV exposure would you see muscle wasting. Could this occur as soon as a year after becoming infected or is this something that is normally seen much later. Also, is hypogonadism commonly seen with HIV infection?

Thanks

Zerit, is one of the real nasty meds for wasting.

Could you explain a rapid progressor?  Thanks

You are right, I have not. Probably would have been best to not comment on things I don't know too much about. Thanks for sorting that out.

This is perhaps one of the longest responses I have seen from Teak. Excellent, buddy.

Muscle wasting is usually caused by those that take certain medications for HIV. It would usually take years for it to show up. Most Drs. try to keep from prescribing meds that will cause wasting.
