Micronutrient supplementation in children and adults with HIV infection

Effect of multiple micronutrient supplementation on survival of HIV‐infected children in Uganda: a randomized, controlled trial

“…However, the overall loss to follow up was comparable to what other micronutrient supplementation studies in the HIV population have reported [35]. …”

Using plasma acute-phase protein concentrations to interpret nutritional biomarkers in apparently healthy HIV-1-seropositive Kenyan adults

“…In the introduction we highlighted the inhibitory effect of inflammation on the response to supplementary vitamin A ( 15 ) . Likewise a recent Cochrane review found little evidence of improvement in nutritional status of HIV+ persons following nutritional supplements ( 31 ) and we suggest this is because the influence of inflammation on nutritional biomarkers has been overlooked.…”

Time to eligibility for antiretroviral therapy in adults with CD4 cell count > 500 cells/μL in rural KwaZulu‐Natal, South Africa

“…Other household socioeconomic status indicators were not associated with time to ART eligibility, suggesting a specific role of nutrition [21]. However, there is no clear evidence that macronutrient or micronutrient supplementation delays HIV disease progression in nonpregnant adults [22][23][24]. The complex interplay between HIV and nutrition means that determining cause and effect relationships is difficult; this was certainly the case in this analysis, given the study design and the lack of clinical indicators such as BMI [25].…”
