This case presentation explores the complexities of managing a 48-year-old HIV-positive male patient with a history of significant clinical changes over the years. Despite achieving adherence to treatment with a combination of medications (TDF/ABC/3TC/RTV/ATZ/EFV), the patient faces dissatisfaction due to increasing facial lipohypertrophy and dorsocervical fat pad accumulation. This presentation discusses potential treatment adjustments, including switching Tenofovir or Atazanavir, and deliberates on the best course of action based on desired outcomes and lab results.
