Effects of anabolic steroids on HIV-related wasting myopathy

Berger JR, Pall L, Winfield D. Department of Neurology, University of Miami School of Medicine, FL 33136.

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is frequently associated with weakness and muscle wasting, referred to as HIV-1 wasting myopathy. This illness, often observed in the advanced stages of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), responds poorly to therapeutic intervention. We describe the cases of three AIDS patients with HIV-1 wasting myopathy who had a favorable response to anabolic steroids as evidenced by an improvement in strength, muscle bulk, body weight, and sense of well-being.

    Since anabolic use is illegal in North America, the danger of dealing with a black market source becomes a significant factor. Counterfeits, bootlegs and veterinarian products are often passed as genuine pharmaceutical grade merchandise. Some products contain no active ingredient at all. Some may actually be contaminated. Anyway you slice it, you're taking a chance. You can't be too careful.

    Anyway there are few excellent pharmaceutical sources. You can check a totally legit pharmaceutical source out at:
