Stavudine, Lipodystrophy and the Developing World

I find it strange that the HIV anti-retroviral drug stavudine is being phased out of the developed world mostly because of concerns about lipodystrophy. Maybe fat-fuck rich people need a bit of lipodystrophy. Although those pot-bellies on kids in the third world are unattractive to potential celebrity serial-adopters. Lose some weight, get in shape!
