“…17 Inadequate energy intake can be triggered by various factors, including oral candidiasis, infections leading to a diminished appetite, side effects of antiretroviral medications (e.g., nausea, vomiting, diarrhea), metabolic repercussions of malnutrition, and psychosocial factors like a lack of emotional support. 18 The energy requirements for people living with HIV depend on several variables, including their weight, age, sex, level of physical activity, and overall health status. It is crucial to tailor dietary recommendations to individuals' unique circumstances to ensure they receive sufficient energy for their specific needs.…”

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.
