In addition, adequate protein reserves and sufficient micronutrients are necessary for the efficacy of many therapeutic drugs. Therefore, the diet of AIDS patients is very important and should be noted as follows: 1. High-energy, high-protein diet AIDS-infected patients and patients have insufficient energy intake due to decreased appetite and reduced absorption function, and at the same time, the increased metabolic rate of the body makes energy imbalance.

In particular, they should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits rich in vitamin A, carotene and vitamin C, as well as foods containing vitamin E.
