This study is a single arm prospective study of tesamorelin therapy of patients with HIV lipodystrophy. Subjects will do body composition testing, adipose tissue biopsy, metabolic rate measurements and insulin sensitivity assessment before, 6 and 12 months after daily injections of tesamorelin 2 mg by subcutaneous injection.

Subjects will be treated with tesamorelin 2 mg by subcutaneous injection daily. Enrolled subjects will have 6 visits - a baseline visit before starting tesamorelin, a visit at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months and at 1 year of tesamorelin (GHRH analogue) therapy. Blood sampling for safety labs and clinical examinations will be performed at each visit.
