Nutrition and HIV

Today over 40 million adults and children worldwide are infected
with HIV, however knowledge of the disease has increased greatly
and the prognosis is now good for those with access to
anti-retroviral treatment.

For many, HIV is now a long-term chronic condition and with
decreased mortality, patient requirements and disease patterns have
changed, making it increasingly apparent to health care
professionals that the treatment of HIV should include optimum
nutrition and healthy lifestyle interventions to help sufferers
lead long and healthy lives.

In this essential new book an international team of authors
under the editorship of Specialist HIV Dietitian Vivian Pribram
bring together the latest research to provide the practicing
dietitian and nutritionist with a practical guide to the
nutritional care of the HIV and AIDS patient. Students and other
health care professionals working and studying this area will also
find Nutrition and HIV an important and valuable
resource.
