Please help; I have been HIV positive for about 10 years now. My viral load is undetectable and my CD4 count is 734. I'm currently taking Truvada (once a day) and 200 mg of Kaletra (twice a day). With in the past two years I've gained about 70 pounds, causing high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and depression. I was reading about this doctor from the 60's named Dr. Simeons who created this diet program called HCG protocol. Along with a 500 calorie diet, you would inject human chorionic gonadotropin, which is a human hormone made by chorionic cells in the fetal part of the placenta. The combination of the two would make you lose weight very fast. I researched several results from people who have lost the weight and I was wondering can this be something I can try since I am HIV positive, and I already tried so many failed diets in the pass. Please help:)
