HIV, food insecurity, and malnutrition are interrelated phenomena, particularly for people living with HIV (PLHIV). HIV contributes to malnutrition by reducing food intake and nutrient absorption, thus impacting quality of life, ability to adhere to treatment, and clinical response. The NuLife program in Uganda is working to increase the utilization, adherence to, and efficacy of antiretroviral treatment through nutritional assessment, counseling, and support via provision of therapeutic foods. AIDSTAR-One recently completed an assessment of the NuLife program to inform future nutrition initiatives in HIV treatment, care, and support programs for USAID and other development partners.
