What are some of the negative side effects of HAART?
You may experience negative side effects (drug toxicities) when you take HIV drugs. Some of these side effects are serious, even life threatening, so you may have to change drugs.
Possible side effects of HAART:
- liver problems,
- diabetes,
- fat maldistribution (lipodystrophy syndrome),
- high cholesterol,
- increased bleeding in patients with hemophilia,
- decreased bone density, and
- skin rash.
Side effects that may seem minor, such as fever, nausea, and fatigue, can mean there are serious problems. You should always discuss any side effects you are having with your doctor.
