This video describes the role that good nutrition plays for people with HIV or AIDS and offers specifics as to how much and what they should eat and drink. The key point emphasized is that a person with HIV or AIDS needs extra fluids, calories, proteins, vitamins and minerals because the infection increases metabolic rate and the body needs more energy to fight infection. The presentation provides realistic suggestions on how someone with a decreased appetite can take in sufficient nutrients, and also emphasizes that food must be fresh and clean to decrease the risk of taxing the body's already stressed immune system.
