Do antiretroviral drugs for HIV create a chemical body odor / skin smell? ?
I dated a guy who was being treated for HIV and he had a metallic chemical smell. Since then I’ve noticed a similar smell on other people. Some of my friends suspect that I’m actually smelling methamphetamine, but I doubt any of these guys were meth heads. What’s the word? Do antiretrovirals create a certain smell?
An increase in body odor is noted in many patients taking antiretrovirals. In addition, it is common for them to experience a metallic taste in their mouth. Additionally, as these meds also cause problems with fat distribution it isn’t uncommon for them to go into ketoacidosis which can actually make their breath fruity smelling. So in conclusion i think what you are smelling could possible be from the drugs. It is also true though that meth can smell/taste metallic and smoking it may cause similar effects.
