Key Takeaway Key Takeaway: Facial lipoatrophy associated with HIV/AIDS is an epidemic, and recognizing its signs and treatment options is crucial for patients and their caregivers.
Abstract
Since AIDS has become a chronic and manageable disease, it is essential to recognize and treat the conditions associated with the infection itself and with the adverse effects of antiretroviral drugs. Facial lipoatrophy associated with HIV / AIDS has become epidemic. Therefore, all of those involved in assisting this group of patients should recognize the signs of lipodystrophy syndrome as well as the recommended treatment options, which should always be incorporated into the therapeutic arsenal for patients with HIV/AIDS.
