"Nutritional management is integral to comprehensive HIV care and treatment. Improved nutritional status and weight gain can increase recovery and strength of individuals living with HIV/AIDS, improve dietary diversity and caloric intake, and improve quality of life. This book provides a comprehensive update on the role of nutrition in HIV through a review of biological mechanisms and published epidemiological studies, including intervention trials and programs that have integrated nutrition in the care and treatment of HIV-infected individuals."--Provided by publisher.
