AB The goals of medical nutrition therapy in HIV disease include early
assessment and treatment of nutrient deficiencies, maintenance and
restoration of lean body mass, and support for activities of daily
living and quality of life. The maintenance and restoration of
nutritional stores are closely interrelated and interdependent with each
of the other recommended medical therapies. Therefore, it is vital to
the health of persons with HIV/AIDS to have access to the services of a
registered dietitian, who is the essential member of the health care
team for providing medical nutrition, therapy (49). The registered
dietitian should take an active role in developing nutrition care
protocols for HIV/AIDS in their practice setting. Dietetics
professionals must take responsibility for obtaining and maintaining
current knowledge in this area and should take the lead in translating
current knowledge and research into practical and realistic nutrition
guidelines for persons with HIV/AIDS. Further research is needed in the
area of HIV/AIDS and nutrition. Registered dietitians and other members
of the health care team are encouraged to conduct nutrition research in
the area of nutrition interventions and the outcomes of nutrition
therapy. Additionally, government health-related agencies, national
AIDS-related organizations, and private industry should be encouraged to
provide funding sources and support to the issue of research in
nutrition-related problems and interventions in HIV/AIDS.
