Nutrition for HIV+

Even though you have HIV, you don’t have to lose weight. Good nutrition and exercise can improve your health and slow down your HIV infection.
What problems could make it hard for me to eat a healthy diet?
You might have trouble eating if you have sores in your mouth, diarrhea, nausea or just a poor appetite.

Follow this regime:

Wash fruits and vegetables before you eat them or cook them.

Wash your hands with soap and water before you eat so you won’t get an infection from germs on your hands.

Wash your hands with soap and water after you touch raw fish, chicken or meat so you won’t get an infection

Have high-calorie protein drinks or shakes. Adding powdered milk can increase the nutrition in other drinks
Drink 8 to 10 glasses of filtered water each day.
Keep nutritious snacks on hand

Call your doctor if you lose weight or have any problems or pains.

Insurance Options for HIV+

I belatedly discovered podcasts in my visit to the site technorati.com about how now Insurance are available for HIV+ people.  Two series, PRI radio programs on Health and Technology, have short stories that may interest readers.  The Health coverage includes a subset of HIV-specific podcasts. This is a very interesting and great step taken by the government of south Africa to fight HIV aids which has the highest percentage of aids victims currently, India is in second spot. Other countries should take heed from this step and take similar actions

One video  is about from November 2007 reported on the new life insurance market for HIV+ residents in South Africa signaling a dramatic shift in access to HIV treatment. Interestingly, life insurance can be one requirement for securing a home mortgage.  According to the report, until recently without a life insurance policy, even well-off HIV+ individuals would have had a more difficult time trying to buy a home. lets hope that soon enough the International AIDS society shall persuade other governments to take steps which South African government has already taken.
