This trial is testing an FDA-approved injectable medication (Tesamorelin) to treat abdominal fat accumulation in patients with HIV. Abdominal fat accumulation is linked to memory and thinking difficulties, and previous studies suggest that Tesamorelin may be beneficial for cognitive function, but this has not been tested in HIV.
