Abstract

HIV infection is now a chronic medical condition with good prognosis for most individuals. Use of antiretroviral therapy has decreased mortality and morbidity related to HIV infection. Chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and coronary artery disease are increasingly prevalent in patients with HIV infection. These chronic diseases can be managed with medical treatment as well as with lifestyle modification. It is extremely important to discuss lifestyle changes such as exercise, healthy diet, and stress management and to counsel patients about smoking cessation and avoidance of addictive substances. Mediterranean diet with ample amounts of vegetables and fruits, and nuts, seeds, legumes, beans, whole grains, and olive oil should be recommended to all patients with HIV. Lifestyle recommendations will help reduce the prevalence of various chronic medical conditions in people living with HIV infection and help them live healthier, productive lives.
