After the party鈥檚 over
Anytime is a good time for a holiday, but post Mardi Gras is one of the best.聽 If you鈥檝e overindulged, this is the opportunity to find a tranquil spot and relax. To detox. To only eat 鈥榮uperfoods鈥� and drink just water.
But wait! Depending on your destination, the local water may not be safe. Don鈥檛 forget this when ordering drinks (No ice, thanks!) or when brushing your teeth (use bottled water).聽 Also keep in mind when picking your tranquil destination that places like Brunei, Oman, Sudan, Yemen and the United Arab Emirates have active anti-HIV tourist restrictions.
These are some considerations we have gathered together in an article for the positive traveller in the autumn edition of Positive Living.
We also look at the treatments of tomorrow and what鈥檚 on the horizon for us here in Australia. How far away is the next 鈥榦ne-pill once-a-day鈥�? And will it be any better than the ones we鈥檝e already got?
A couple of readers provide their remarkable stories鈥攐ne on his plight to get on the Disability Support Pension and the other on his stunning results from trying a radical form of antiretroviral therapy .
Plus, Jae Condon joins the Positive Living team with an informative piece on the risks of sexually transmitted hepatitis C.
And we鈥檝e got a delicious recipe using the 鈥榮uperfood鈥� beetroot. You could try making it on your holiday.
Adrian Ogier is the editor of Positive Living, NAPWHA鈥檚 health, treatments and research magazine out next Friday in the Star Observer
