I am just wondering how long it would take for facial wasting (sunken in, hollow checks) to occur after HIV infection.
Can HIV on its own cause hollow cheeks/ after only a few months (2-6 months) of infection?
If not, what else could be the cause of hollow, sunken inn cheeks, that are continuing to become more hollow, be?How soon after HIV infection can facial wasting/ lipodystrophy/lipoatrophy occur?
It depends on your immune system, how long it can cope until being fully suseptible to facial wasting. People live up to 10 years or more without any way of knowing they had it.How soon after HIV infection can facial wasting/ lipodystrophy/lipoatrophy occur?
Usually I just make up crazy answers on yahoo answers because I find the questions stupid/amusing, but since this is a serious question I'll answer it.
People can have HIV for up to 10 years before they show any symptoms. By then, it is usually opportunistic infections that cause people to seek medical care. facial wasting does not occur due to HIV, but is one possible side effect from long term use of HIV medication. But it's a small price to pay for an extended life.
that can be caused by a LOAD of different things......but get tested if you are concerned
