Abstract

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and nutritional status maintain a critical and important relationship that is incompletely understood. Consequences of chronic viral infections may have organ-specific effects as well as general effects on health and function. HIV infection is a nutritionally progressive disorder with major metabolic changes in nutrient utilization as the balance of viral replication, immune response, and inflammation changes over time. HIV treatment has its own specific metabolic effects which have been discussed elsewhere [J Acquir Immune Defic Syndr. 49:S79–85, 2008; 49:S86–92, 2008; J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2007;92:2506–12]. Worldwide, nutrition and HIV are important determinants of clinical outcomes including survival, with special importance in areas of food insecurity like Sub-Saharan Africa. States of normal and abnormal nutrition may affect the progression of HIV and response to treatment in different ways. Poor nutrition in the patient infected with HIV not only has implications for the individual, but in conjunction with progressive immune dysfunction also has significant implications for community and global health.
