Keep in mind this book was written 12 years ago, although I have updated a lot of the information this year. There is also info on facial and buttock wasting.

There is a lot of information here also useful for people not living with HIV.

I am not Hiv+ but this book is an incredible source of information for any men. Nelson 's story is inspiring and shows the importance of never give up despite the odds. Thanks for giving this for free.
 
Thanks for your kind words, Ronnie. The title scares people so I am thinking about extracting info applicable to all people HIV+ or HIV- and give it another title.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
