Its never a good look when your representatives have to contact media outlets to convince them that you dont have AIDS.

True...but niggas around here have been running with that dumb ass rumor like they've seen the dudes test results or something. When it comes to shit like that rumors can be pretty damaging. It's just like this chick when I was in high school...someone started a rumor she had it and the shit just got out of control within like a week. She actually went and took and test and brought it to school just to shut niggas up.

And even after that folks were STILL runnin with the rumor.
 
nah..

ARV SIDE EFFECT

my friend is taking arv(hiv drug) since 2006.nowdays his stomach is swelling as if there is gas inside. due to this he is not eating well. his weight is detoriating suffering from so many acne. i want to help him what should i do?




Response from Dr. Henry

Some HIV meds are linked to increased intra-abdominal fat while a range of HIV-linked and unlinked conditions can cause stomach/gas problems so the possible explanations are many. A good evaluation by his HIV specialist and/or a gastroenterologist can often help make a diagnosis and lead to a helpful intervention. KH

Yea. . . I was thinking the same thing. It's part of the wasting syndrome that AIDS patients go through. The stomach getting large like that is called crix belly.

Cause fat redistribution. . . and is supposed to make the arms and legs small. . but his arms really don't look that small.

:dunno:

This is what hip hop is reduced to. Trading thoughts about a wack nigga's stomach. Who remembers when it was just about the lyrics?
 
I slang in my tight tee
I bang in my tight tee
All in the club spitting game in my tight tee ,,,

There are plenty of things that could cause an protuberant stomach . Such as colon cancer ( and tones of other abdominal problems) , liver disease (hepititis) and heart problems.

And besides there are tons of different ARV ( anit-retroviral ) meds used to fight hIV . Some cause abdominal swelling others dont .

In fact him having that fat stomach could be the worst things for his diabetes. In fact diabetes loves that nice belly fat . Its were insulin resistance marinates and worsens your ability to maintain a decent blood sugar. Nigga better do some excercise..

good his sorry ass can rap about and bring more awareness to the issue.
 
what the hell yall nucca talking bout......that ain't nothing but a classic case of wheat beer abuse.....get the fuck outta here
 
Diabetes ain't nothing to fuck with because it can lead to so many other problems. That's why I stay in the gym trying to keep this shit in check.:smh:
 
I always wondered why that knicca stay eating some damn potato chips. My boi just thought that was Shawty Lo's thing like cam wearing pink or Wayne with the Shaggy-doo v-necks. I was like "knicca eating potato chips can't be no damn fad."
 
These rumors are so old. Long before D4L or Shawty Lo went nationwide, there were rumors on the Westside that Shawty Lo and Mook B both have that virus. I've heard this from several sources from the neighborhood surrounding Bowen Homes. For a while, I remember Mook B was wearing a bandaid on his face and he tried to holler at my homegirl. She has an aunt with HIV and she told me that the pills that they take cause huge boils to break out on some people's faces. That's why Mook used to wear the bandaid under his eye.
