Since the advent of potent anti-HIV therapy there have been increasing reports of changes in body composition among people living with HIV. These include increases in fat in various areas of the body (the stomach area, behind the base of the neck and/or breast enlargement) or decreases in body fat (in the face, arms, and/or legs) and changes in the way the body processes fats (called lipids). Any combination of these conditions is called lipodystrophy. While all these conditions have been lumped together, it's likely they are actually different syndromes which are caused by different things.
自从强效抗艾滋病毒疗法问世以来，越来越多的报告称，感染艾滋病毒的人身体成分发生了变化。这些变化包括身体各个部位脂肪增加（腹部、颈部后方和/或乳房增大）或身体脂肪减少（面部、手臂和/或腿部），以及身体处理脂肪（称为脂质）方式的改变。这些情况的任何组合都称为脂肪代谢障碍。虽然所有这些情况都被归为一类，但它们实际上可能是由不同原因引起的不同综合征。
