Vegan And HIV

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Barrie, ON

I am wondering if going Vegan is a good choice, with me being HIV Positive. What are the positives and negatives of going vegan. Every time I eat meat, I feel like I'm murdering an animal. I have felt this way, for a long time.

I understand what you mean by you think you're wearing an animal vegan is fine as long as you feel your protein needs that meat gives you you don't need to eat a lot of meat but then the body does adapt to it and you do have an appetite for it just not a lot if you're careful but you also have to be careful to get your proteins and a little bit of fat that the animals do give you I've had no trouble with eating meat or vegetables either way that's just the way they're cooked that makes the difference and I say if you're vegan go for it but make sure you make up your protein needs and take your medications and how so you probably need vitamin d as everybody is low in that and do a full Lab occasionally to find out your panels on all of your conditions of the blood your blood tells you first of all what's wrong and they can diagnose from the blood but treatment you might need unless it's something that doesn't involve the blood I do panels every May least once a year every 6 months depending on how I feel take care Happy Days see you summer is almost here funny how it takes so long to get here and then so short for it to go away hugs and happy life and stress-free days
