[translation needed here]
===68. Why is drinking clean water important if you have HIV?===
[translation needed here]
===69. It makes you less thirsty?===
[translation needed here]
===70. or it helps keep you healthy when your body is not very good at protecting itself against disease?===
[translation needed here]

[translation needed here]
