Summary This booklet provides practical information on composing healthy diets in general (chapter 1). As people with HIV/AIDS have special food requirements to a certain extent, chapter 2 provides special recommendations. The remaining chapters contain sections about the most common problems that people with HIV/AIDS are facing. These include diarrhoea, weight loss, lack of appetite, mouth and skin sores, coughs, flu. Some background information is provided about these symptoms in relation to the disease, as well as food related guidelines on how to cope with these situations. Where appropriate, recipes will be given at the end of each chapter.
