“…However, these figures differ from those of Berberi et al in Lebanon in 2015, who reported that 64% of patients had a c less than 200 cells/mm³ and 32% had a CD4 T-cell count between 200 and 500 cells/mm³ [ 23 ]. This situation could be the result of the stigmatization of HIV-positive patients, leading to a delay in access to care [ 7 , 22 ].…”

“…The food consumption score (FCS), an index developed by the World Food Program (WFP), which provides a picture of a given period of the usual diet of an individual or a community, was subsequently calculated [ 21 , 22 ]; this score lists the foods consumed over the last seven days and weights them according to their relative nutritional value. In this estimate, caloric intake is captured by the frequency of consumption and nutritional quality by the diversity of food groups [ 21 , 22 ]; all frequency values above seven have been capped at seven. Foods were grouped into eight groups: cereals /starches, pulses, vegetables, fruits, meats/fish, milk, oil, and sugar/fatty foods.…”

“…Foods were grouped into eight groups: cereals /starches, pulses, vegetables, fruits, meats/fish, milk, oil, and sugar/fatty foods. The sum of the weighted scores gives the overall score [ 21 , 22 ]. Our participants were classified as having a poor diet (inadequate in quantity and quality) if the value was ≤ 21, those with a score between 21 and 35 were considered to have a limited diet and inadequate only in quality, and those with an FCS > 35 were considered to have an acceptable diet (adequate in quantity and quality) [ 21 , 22 ].…”

Background Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is a public health concern worldwide. The clinical manifestations include underweight and oral lesions. The objective of this study was to assess the relationship between oral pathologies and underweight among HIV-positive patients in Yaoundé, Cameroon. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional study between February 1st and 30th June 2021 at Yaoundé Central Hospital in Cameroon. A total of 205 HIV positive patients aged at least 18 years were recruited via consecutive sampling. The questionnaire consisted of sociodemographic information, anthropometric data, dietary habits, HIV history and treatment and oral examination data. The data were analysed with R software. Multivariate analysis was used to assess the risk of being underweight among HIV-positive patients with oral pathologies. A p value < 0.05 was considered to indicate statistical significance. Results The prevalence of oral pathologies was 52.7% (95% CI: 45.6–59.6), and the main pathologies were candidiasis (40.5%, 95% CI: 33.7–47.5) and linear erythema (32.2%, 95% CI: 25.9–39.1). The prevalence of underweight was 20% (95% CI: 14.88–26.26). Binary logistic regression revealed that HIV-positive patients with oral pathologies were 10.89 (95% CI: 2.28–16.63) times more likely to be underweight than were HIV positive and AIDS patients without oral pathologies (p = 0.002). Conclusion Oral candidiasis and linear erythema were common in HIV positive and AIDS patients. HIV-positive and AIDS patients with these oral pathologies were at higher risk of being underweight than were those without oral pathologies. The effective medical care of these patients must include oral and nutritional management.

“…Em Moçambique, ainda há escassez de estudos sobre saúde bucal em indivíduos vivendo com HIV. No entanto, destacamse estudos de Sales-Peres et al 12 que determinaram a prevalência de manifestações orais em pacientes com HIV+/AIDS; Sales-Peres et al 13 que avaliou o estado de saúde bucal e as condições antropométricas em adolescentes tratados e não tratados com infecção pelo HIV e o estudo de Sacarlal e Denning 14 que estimou a carga de infecções fúngicas graves em Moçambique e inclui, em seu estudo, indivíduos com HIV. Embora o foco deste último não fosse a saúde bucal, fornece informações sobre a existência de candidíase oral.…”

Objetivo: Avaliar a autopercepção da saúde bucal e a satisfação em relação aos serviços de saúde dos pacientes HIV positivos. Métodos: O estudo incluiu 68 pacientes sistematicamente selecionados entre os usuários de consultas de HIV, no Centro de Saúde da Manhiça (Moçambique). Foram submetidos a um questionário que incluiu questões relacionadas à informação sociodemográfica, autopercepção sobre a saúde bucal e o nível de satisfação em relação ao cuidado recebido na unidade de saúde. A estatística foi realizada no programa estatístico (SPSS) versão 22. Resultados: A maioria dos pacientes (72,1%) apresentou baixa escolaridade e morava na zona rural (61,8%). Observou-se que a maioria dos indivíduos (79%) experimentou pelo menos um problema de saúde bucal, no entanto, apenas 57,4% procuraram tratamento específico. Dos sujeitos que procuraram tratamento hospitalar, 85,2% avaliaram positivamente os serviços prestados. Conclusão: A percepção das necessidades de saúde oral desses pacientes está relacionada a condições com a capacidade de causar dor e mudar, substancialmente, o seu cotidiano. A satisfação com os serviços prestados foi relacionada ao tempo de espera que eles levam para receber atendimento e com as complicações menos possíveis nos procedimentos e não, necessariamente, ao procedimento adotado.

“…13 In addition, it is well known that high intakes of carbohydrate and sugar cause dental carries which can lead to less chewing ability and consequently loss of weight. 14,15 Hence, PLHIV with oral problems need special nutritional product to prevent weight loss and muscle wasting from inadequate protein intake, and to avoid hyperglycemia from the ART side effect. Unfortunately, food products with high protein, low glycemic index that can be easily in chewed and swallowed by PLHIV with oral problems are still unavailable in Thai communities.…”

People living with HIV (PLHIV) with oral problems usually suffer from malnutrition due to difficulties in chewing and swallowing, which lead to under nutrition. In addition, hyperglycemia is one of the major problems among PLHIV receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART).Up to now, in Thailand there is still a lack of specialized food products for PLHIV with oral problems that can be easily chewed and swallowed to prevent their malnutrition.This study aimed to develop high protein food products in the form of snack with artificial sweeteners, and to determine the levels of acceptance (taste, flavor, color, texture and overall satisfaction) by PLHIV with oral problems. Soybean milk pudding was selected as the food product since it is the most favored snack among PLHIV. All 3 high protein snacks (containing sugar, sucralose, and stevioside) were developed for 30 PLHIV with oral problems, and their sensory perceptions were evaluated. Results revealed there were no significant differences in all aspects of sensory perceptions between the 3 high protein snacks, except for color (p<0.05). In addition, overall satisfaction scores of all 3 high protein snacks were deemed to be acceptable by all PLHIV participants
