 I have a question. If one is a PLHIV and starts working out, would it be possible to get a big body? What I meant was can one develop muscles? Even if one takes creatine, amino and whey protein?
POZZIEPINOY’S RESPONSE

Hi there.

Thank you for your email.

Exercise is very important to anybody not only to PLHIV's. However, in our case, we need it to boost our immune system aside from the aesthetic effects of exercise. 

To answer your question, exercise can really improve ones physique. However because of the ARV's that the PLHIV's are taking, one just can't take any supplement that can burden his liver. 

The best advice that I can give you is to ask your HIV doctor first before taking anything. Eating the right kinds of food, especially protein rich foods can stimulate muscle growth, but too much protein can really burden the liver so please seek consult first.

I hope I was able to answer your concerns. Feel free to email me again if you have other questions.


Stay healthy,
Pozziepinoy
