Maybe give some free advice about: Illnesses?
All the advice below is golden, however, you should see a nutritionist to evaluate your calorie needs and come up with a food plan. I don't know about your personal situation, but some of the anti-retrovirals can cause a lot of nausea and some diarrhea. There are some foods you may want to avoid because of that. You may also need to time your food consumption around medication doses. There are also the Boost and Ensure shakes which could help, along with ice cream and other high-calorie foods.
Best of luck.

Nonfat dry milk powder can be added to a lot of foods to give them more protein. You'll never taste it in there. Try adding it to raw ground beef before making it into hamburger patties, meatballs or meatloaf. You can also add it to any casserole, macaroni and cheese, tuna or egg salad, hot or cold cereal, scrambled eggs, mashed potatoes, milkshakes and puddings.
