PER CURIAM.

       Arkansas inmate Troy Lawson appeals the district court’s1 adverse grant of
summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action, in which he claimed inadequate
treatment of HIV by Correctional Medical Services (CMS) personnel.2 Having
carefully reviewed the record, see Johnson v. Blaukat, 453 F.3d 1108, 1112 (8th Cir.
2006), we conclude that summary judgment was proper. While the record showed
that prescribed antiviral medications were occasionally not given, Lawson failed to
rebut evidence that his HIV status had not worsened, and he offered no evidence
showing that the named CMS defendants were the ones who administered medications
or that the missed doses were deliberately withheld without appropriate reasons. See
Estelle v. Gamble, 429 U.S. 97, 105-06 (1976) (inadvertent failure to provide medical
care does not amount to wanton and unnecessary infliction of pain); Laughlin v.
Schriro, 430 F.3d 927, 929 (8th Cir. 2005) (objective seriousness of delay must be
measured by reference to effect of delay, which must be shown by verifying medical
evidence). Even gross negligence is an insufficient basis for an Eighth Amendment
claim. See Alberson v. Norris, 458 F.3d 762, 765 (8th Cir. 2006).

      Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. We also deny Lawson’s motion
for appointment of counsel.
                     _________________________________

       The Honorable Henry L. Jones, Jr., United States Magistrate Judge for the
Eastern District of Arkansas, to whom the case was referred for final disposition by
consent of the parties pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c).
      2
       Lawson has waived his other claims by not raising and addressing them on
appeal. See K.D. v. County of Crow Wing, 434 F.3d 1051, 1055 n.4 (8th Cir. 2006).
