Be HIV-1 antibody positive as determined by a positive 4th generation Ag/Ab ELISA assay
Be stable on ART with a viral load suppressed <40 copies/mL for a minimum of 2 years
Have a CD4 count ≥200 cells/mm3 for a minimum of 1 year

Exclusion criteria

Subjects unable to comply with the study protocol or unable to self-administer subcutaneous semaglutide
History of obesity induced by other endocrine disorders: hypothyroidism, Cushing's syndrome, primary and secondary hypogonadism, hypothalamic disorders, polycystic ovary syndrome, insulinoma
History of obesity induced by use of anti-psychotic medications known to be associated with weight gain (i.e. olanzapine, clozapine).
Treatment with GLP-1 receptor agonists (including liraglutide, semaglutide or exenatide), dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors or insulin within the last 3 months (including saxagliptin, linagliptin, sitagliptin)
History of severe renal impairment, as defined by a baseline creatinine clearance <30ml/min
Individuals with a diagnosis of HIV-associated lipoatrophy/lipodystrophy, based on physician's assessment
Individuals with severe hepatic impairment (Child Pugh score >9)
Subjects with active hepatitis B infection (defined as hepatitis B sAg positive) or hepatitis C (defined as hepatitis C Ab and RNA positive) co-infection
Any active illness (including AIDS-defining illness) which in the opinion of the investigator precludes participation in the study
History of cancer (apart from treated Kaposi's Sarcoma) and/or receiving chemotherapy or radiotherapy
Active illicit intravenous drug use
Subjects concurrently enrolled in another clinical trial of an investigational medicinal product.
The investigator may decide that a subject cannot proceed in the study if there is any relevant other abnormal results in the screening assessments
Subjects with any known or suspected hypersensitivity to semaglutide or any of the excipients of semaglutide
Subjects on another medicinal product prescribed primarily for weight loss e.g. orlistat (see prohibited/cautioned concomitant medications/therapies section)
For female subjects: pregnancy or breastfeeding at screening, planning future pregnancies or unwilling to take measures to avoid pregnancy for the duration of the study
