I know of a plastic surgeon here in Chicago that focuses a lot of his work on the restoration of facial wasting related to hiv. In his study, which pre-dates a lot of the anti viral therapies in the late 80's he concludes that the fat loss in the face is a result from the disease itself. In his case, I can't argue since his study pre-dates the anti-viral therapy.
I've also read somewhere that Caucasian men are more prone to this unwanted side effect of the disease and that Africans, Hispanics and Asians are less effected.
I personally do know of a couple people off hand who have HIV since the late 80's and have actually no physical signs whatsoever (visually speaking of course).
I do know what you guys are talking about. Some of the muscle bound men that look way too shredded look like they could just say, "I think I'll compete in a bodybuilding contest" and BAM, 2 days later (basically only needed for tanning purposes only) they're ready to go for it. Throw in a little crystal meth (as so many gay men seem to love using) and you have yourself the gay bodybuilding diuretic for that added cadaver like quality to their definition.
It's complicated because a lot of guys in this situation also use HGH and can usually get their hands or at least could have on several boxes of this stuff a month! The underground market for serostim kits in the gay community was plentiful at one time. I read of one disaster where a guy was taking so much GH that he had to have open heart surgery to drain the fluid around his heart. He was taking way too much. So distinguishing between HIV lypodystrophy "crix" belly and GH gut can pose a difficult task. The facial wasting can be a sign but I know of quite a few people who have that hard exaggerated laugh line and sunken cheek that don't have HIV. My brother for one, and I know he's not HIV.
