Why is good nutrition important for
people with HIV?
Good nutrition is about finding and maintaining a healthy
eating style. Good nutrition supports overall health and
helps maintain the immune system. It also helps people with
HIV maintain a healthy weight and absorb HIV medicines.
HIV attacks and destroys the immune system, which makes
it harder for the body to fight off infections. People with
HIV take a combination of HIV medicines (called an HIV
treatment regimen) every day. The medicines prevent HIV
from destroying the immune system. A healthy diet also
helps strengthen the immune system and keep people with
HIV healthy.
