If one or both your parents has HIV/AIDS help them to live positively. Give them a healthy diet (lots of fruit and vegetables), remind them to take their treatment (ARVs) on time-if they get sick/want more advice help them go to a health centre. Be a good listener and let them share their challenges and worries. It would be wise for you and your brothers and sisters to also get tested. If you are young you may find it too difficult to support a sick parent on your own. Try to share your challenge with a close family friend/relative so they can help you.
