Banana

Bananas are rich in potassium, an electrolyte that may become low if experiencing chronic diarrhea.

Soft Foods

Mouth sores are common in individuals who are HIV+. Choosing soft foods, like this smoothie, may make eating less painful.

Cherries

Cherries are rich in polyphenols and vitamin C, both of which can promote better health by acting as antioxidants and anti-inflammatories in the body.

Almond Butter

Almond butter is rich in healthy fats. Eating a balanced diet, rich in healthy fats, may help to prevent HIV associated weight loss.
