Objective: The objective of this scoping review was to map the current literature and resources available on nutrition and food programming for people living with HIV in Canada. This review is phase 1 of a 4-phase project, called FoodNOW (Food to eNhance Our Wellness), a community-based nutritional needs assessment of people living with HIV in Nova Scotia, Canada. Introduction: People living with HIV may experience nutritional challenges, including nutritional deficiencies associated with the virus, food insecurity, and nutrition-drug interactions. Nutritional programming is often required for optimal care for people living with HIV. The literature, however, has not been sufficiently mapped to create a comprehensive picture of available programming. This review has informed the development of subsequent study phases, and will contribute towards shaping and planning food programs, as well as evaluating the need for subsequent systematic reviews. Inclusion criteria: This review considered literature focused on nutrition and food programming and resources in Canada for people living with HIV. People living with HIV of any age, sex, race, gender identity, or sexual orientation, as well as pregnant and lactating people, were included as the population of interest. Methods: The databases searched were MEDLINE (Ovid), CINAHL (EBSCO), Academic Search Premier (EBSCO), Social Services Abstracts (ProQuest), and Scopus. Sources of gray literature searched included government and organization websites, and Google searches. The database search was conducted in July 2021, and the gray literature searches were conducted in August and October 2021. Searches were limited to evidence published or translated in English. Two independent reviewers conducted title and abstract screening, and potentially relevant results were retrieved in full. Full-text screening and data extraction was conducted by 2 independent reviewers using a data extraction tool designed specifically for the scoping review objectives and research inclusion criteria, and any conflicts were resolved through discussion. Results are presented in both tabular and diagrammatic formats, with a narrative summary. Results: A total of 581 results were screened (published and gray literature). A total of 64 results were included in the review. The 6 reasons for exclusion at full-text review were i) not nutrition and food programming (n= 83), ii) not Canadian (n= 37), iii) duplicates (n= 22), iv) not focused on people living with HIV (n= 6), v) conference abstract (n= 1), and vi) not in English (n= 1). A total of 76 resources were located, as some of the 64 included sources offered more than 1 resource. The 76 resources were organized into 6 categories: i) charitable food provision (n = 21; 27.6%), ii) financial aid (n = 14; 18.4%), iii) nutrition care (n =12; 15.8%), iv) providing access to secondary sources (n= 10; 13.2%), v) food and nutrition expertise (n= 10; 13.2%), and vi) population health promotion (n= 9; 11.8%). Recommendations for future research and programming are discussed. Conclusions: This scoping review demonstrates that current programming relies heavily on charitable food provision services for people living with HIV and that there is an unequal distribution of resources across Canada. Program expansion to target diverse populations with more equal distribution across Canada may improve overall health outcomes for people living with HIV. Future research is needed to evaluate the effectiveness of available programming and the needs of end users (people living with HIV and their supports). FoodNOW will build on these findings to further explore and address the needs of people living with HIV. Review registration: Open Science Framework https://osf.io/97x3r

“…In a cyclical pattern, we evaluate outcomes, identify problems, assess barriers, adapt to local contexts, implement interventions, and begin again ( Graham et al, 2006 ). Phase 1 was a scoping review that outlines the available programming for PLWHA across Canada ( Mannette et al, 2022 ). Phase 2 involved the virtual food costing of a healthy diet for PLWHA within Canada.…”

There is a lack of nutritional programming and resources available for people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) in Nova Scotia, Canada. This is problematic for several reasons, including that adequate food and nutrition knowledge is integrated to effective medical therapy and wellness for PLWHA. The aim of this research was to explore and describe the beliefs, values, and experiences of HIV-service providers involved programming for PLWHA in Nova Scotia. Using a post-structuralist lens, semi-structured interviews were conducted with nine service providers. Thematic analysis of interview transcripts identified four main themes: (1) recognizing the social determinants of health, (2) acknowledging and disrupting layered stigma, (3) understanding the commensality, and (4) navigating and utilizing networks of care. These findings suggest that those developing, delivering, and evaluating food and nutrition-related programming must engage in community-inclusive approaches that recognize the varied social determinants of health that shape the lived of PLWHA, leverage existing networks and resources, and actively disrupt layered stigma. Also, in agreement with existing evidence, participants stressed the value of communicating and supporting the practice of eating together (commensality) and cultivating networks of care.
