HIV Connect brings attention to the issues that are important to those living with HIV and what that looks like today. From topics like medication adherence and aging with HIV, to equitable care and sex, we aim to raise awareness and destigmatize what it means to be living with HIV. Our host Kalvin Pugh is joined each week by leading advocates and experts to delve deeper into the topics that matter.
HIV Connect is brought to you by the International Association of Providers of AIDS Care.
Most medications and treatments have side effects - antiretroviral therapy is no different. In the early days of the epidemic, HIV medications often caused weight gain in the upper back and lower stomach. Today's medications have lessened some of these effects but often still cause weight gain. Kalvin speaks with advocate Lillabeth Gonzalez and Dr. John Koethe to discuss the effects of weight gain on people living with HIV.
