There is no reason why being HIV+ should stop you weight lifting or joining a gym.<\/p>\n<p>If you do take any supplements related to weight lifting it is important to discuss this with your doctor, especially if you start taking HIV medication. This is because some HIV medications can interact with weight lifting supplements.<\/p>\n<p>HIV positive people can drink alcohol if they want to. Drinking a lot of alcohol on a regular basis is bad for anybody&#8217;s health but having the occasional glass of wine is not a problem.<\/p>\n<p>You can continue to eat any foods you want to.
