Human Growth Hormones + HIV Meds = Healthier Living?

Human growth hormone could reduce fat deposits caused by HIV treatment. Low doses of human growth hormone can reverse some of the abnormal fat distribution and lower the risk of cardiovascular disease, caused by HIV treatment. 40% of males and 16% of females who take antiretroviral drugs develop visceral fat in the stomach, neck and cheeks, which is associated with higher levels of cholesterol and triglycerides and can increase the risk of heart attacks and stroke. A Harvard Medical School doctor said the hormone produced good results but would have to be used carefully to avoid inducing diabetes. The hormone could increase the risk of side effects in people who have early stages of diabetes. Previous studies using higher levels of the hormone produced "unacceptable" side effects, including tissue swelling and joint pain. Another AIDS expert suggested that although there were fewer side effects with lower doses, the results of the study were "disappointing" and states hormone injections at best have limited use for treating fat abnormalities associated with HIV. Can this be the threshold for more positive results toward healthier living with HAART? What are your thoughts?
