饮食、运动、吸烟和药物使用模式影响艾滋病毒感染者的病程和生活质量。在对接受艾滋病毒护理的2，864人的全国概率样本进行的访谈中，发现大多数人自诊断以来在这些行为中的一个或多个方面做出了促进健康的改变。许多人报告增加了体力活动（43%）和改善了饮食（59%）。49%的吸烟者戒烟或减少吸烟量; 80%的物质使用者这样做。渴望参与一个人的艾滋病毒护理和信息寻求积极应对的变化是最一致的相关因素。其他相关因素因健康实践而异，但包括健康状况、情感健康、人口统计学和对艾滋病毒护理其他方面的态度。大多数艾滋病毒感染者在诊断后改善了他们的健康行为，但在未来的干预措施中针对这些行为可能会帮助更多人这样做。
Diet, exercise, smoking, and substance use patterns affect the course of illness and quality of life for people with HIV. In interviews with a national probability sample of 2,864 persons receiving HIV care, it was found that most had made health-promoting changes in one or more of these behaviors since diagnosis. Many reported increased physical activity (43%) and improved diet (59%). Forty-nine percent of cigarette smokers quit or cut down; 80% of substance users did so. Desire for involvement in one's HIV care and information seeking-positive coping were the most consistent correlates of change. Other correlates varied by health practice but included health status, emotional well-being, demographics, and attitudes toward other aspects of HIV care. Most people with HIV improve their health behavior following diagnosis, but more might be helped to do so by targeting these behaviors in future interventions.
