Asked By:Along41132 in Columbia, SC

Have been taking regimen for hiv therapy for 14 yrs. Belly fat is a side effect. It just won't seem to go away and is pretty rigid. It's getting hard to even tie my shoes sometimes. Exercise has done nothing. Could this be considered medically necessary to get insurance coverage?
