Nutrition plays a crucial role in the overall health and well-being of people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). This review aims to provide a current summary of the macronutrient and micronutrient requirements for HIV-positive individuals. The author emphasizes the fundamentals of nutrition treatment as a guide for medical professionals to adopt the right strategy based on risk-adapted nutrition therapy. The majority of nutrition guidelines were published over 10 years ago and have failed to address the protein requirements for people with human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS). Proper nutrition can reduce the risk of malnutrition, infections, and other complications, while also assisting with symptom management, maintaining a healthy weight, and improving immune function. In this review, the author has identified the latest reliable and validated nutrition screening tool specifically designed for people with HIV/AIDS, along with a risk-stratified nutrition therapy based on the screening tool to facilitate the nutrition care process. People living with HIV/AIDS have unique nutritional needs due to the virus's impact on the body's immune system, metabolism, and nutrient absorption. It is important for them to work with a healthcare professional, namely a dietitian, to assess nutrition risk and develop an individualized dietary intervention for a healthy lifestyle.
