Do You Follow A Specific Diet To Help With HIV?

I try to follow the Mediterranean diet. Lots of veggies, whole grains (gluten free because I have celiac disease) fish or seafood two to three times a week, and plant-based proteins like tofu. I try to limit my red meat consumption to no more than once a week, although I sometimes cheat. I follow this diet more to control my cholesterol than the HIV, but it doesn't hurt.

Whatever i feel like eating really. I am thin and trying to put on weight is kinda difficult because sometimes i do not have much of a appetite so anything regardless how healthy or unhealthy works for me.
