Overview
People living with HIV/AIDS face increased challenges in maintaining proper nutrition. Despite developments in medical treatment, nutrition remains a key component in managing this condition. The challenges that those living with HIV/AIDS face can be the result of the viral infection itself or from the effects of anti-HIV therapy (HAART).[1]
Some of the side effects from HAART that may affect how the body absorbs and utilizes nutrients include fatigue, nausea, and poor appetite.[2] As well, the nutritional needs of people with HIV/AIDS are greater due to their immune system fighting off opportunistic infections that do not normally cause disease in people with healthy immune systems.[3] Medication along with proper nutrition is a major component of maintaining good health and quality of life for people living with HIV/AIDS.
Nutritional need of the HIV/AIDS patient
Energy requirements
For people with HIV/AIDS, energy requirements often increase in order to maintain their regular body weight.[4].
