ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

In patients with HIV infection/AIDS, in addition to the antiretrovival therapy nutritional support is needed to maintain optimum nutrition during the symptomatic period, to prevent further deterioration of nutritional status during acute episodes of infections and to improve nutritional status during the stable symptom free period. This can be achieved by (a) nutritional assessment, (b) nutritional screening, (c) nutritional intervention and by providing (d) psychosocial support for nutrition.
