I think you are being paranoid. I wouldn't just automatically blame the meds. Have you lost weight? I know if i lose weight it comes out of my face first. Also If I dont keep hydrated it shows in my face.

Maybe not nuts, but I suspect it is all in your head. HIV meds do not cause wasting. You could look different in the face due to a new hair cut or maybe you have lost a pound or two. If you are truly concerned with how you look, you should speak with your doctor about your concerns.

I can tell you that you do not have any form of lipo, as you have not been on meds long enough.
