Medical Video: Why Charlie Sheen Wasn't Shocked By His HIV-Positive Diagnosis
As you know, positive thinking can lead to a healthy life even if you have HIV or other diseases. There are many people who have a long, happy life because they are always positive. So, how can you stay positive after an HIV diagnosis?
Positive thinking
Even if things don't go your way, seeing them in a positive manner can help you get through difficult situations, even to live longer. A study shows that people in their 20s who use positive words to describe themselves are more likely to live up to the age of 80 than people with a negative outlook. In addition, people with a more positive outlook on life tend to have fewer strokes, coronary problems, injuries and fever, and women with positive thoughts have healthier pregnancies.
Join social activities
Don't just stay at home because it can make you depressed. Going with friends or participating in activities with family can make you more confident. Good emotions from people can impact you and give positive thoughts. Don't let yourself be lonely and have bad thoughts. Share your thoughts with relatives or friends you trust. The more people who understand you and your illness, the more you can feel happy.
Eat healthily
Having a healthy diet may not help you immediately think positively, but can provide energy for the body that helps you live a positive life. In addition, nutrients can help improve your immune system. Discuss with your doctor to have a diet program and consume supplements to increase your strength. Trying new foods or learning to cook can help you prefer to eat. Many people find their interest in cooking after a diet for the healing process, and this helps them live more positively. Consider talking to a nutritionist to find out what foods are right for you and visit qualified counselors to determine plans to strengthen your mental health.
Reduce risk to others
Remember that HIV spreads through certain body fluids from people infected with HIV: blood, semen, pre-cum, rectum fluid, vaginal fluids and breast milk. If you always remember that you have to protect your relatives from spreading HIV, you will be more responsible and think again before doing anything. This can make people around you respect you and make you more confident, and think more positively.
Many people who live with HIV have a long and happy life with their social life, just thinking and doing positive things. So, there is nothing to worry about if you are diagnosed with HIV.
