Email 405: How to Boost My Immune System?

Good Day!

Im G, 23 from Davao City. I found out that i am HIV positive when i was confined in one of the Hospitals abroad. I was working in a ship when i got severely sick and no one could tell what/how did i get such a terrible illness since i look so healthy.

When the doctor told me about the news, i was like, oh my God. How did it happen? And everything else i was imagining of pursuing / achieving shut down. I dont know what to do. I dont know how to tell my parents about this. I am running out of options when i am thinking that i have this.
