Good nutrition for people living with HIV is essential. The subject of nutrition as treatment for people living with HIV however is very controversial and it is important to reiterate that nutrition is by no means a replacement for ARVs.

In this programme we detail the importance of good nutrition and nutritional supplements. We emphasize that ARVs are the only effective treatment for people living with HIV and that nutrition, whilst important, can never replace ARVs. We explain what types of nutrients a person living with HIV must eat in order to maintain a healthy and balanced diet.
