A patient with HIV (the cause of AIDS) is exposed to what is known as the HIV wasting syndrome, which causes a loss of more than 10% of body weight during a period of up to 30 days from its onset, and is usually accompanied by fever and general weakness in the body. This syndrome occurs in the advanced stages of the disease, including the stage of AIDS.

And to answer the question of when the weight of an AIDS patient decreases? It should be known that the timing of the occurrence of this syndrome that causes weight loss differs from one person to another, as the period of transformation of the HIV virus into AIDS differs from one case to another. years.

In the case of treating the virus and controlling symptoms, the patient may not reach the stage of AIDS and coexist with the virus, and this may mean not losing this large amount of weight at all.
