Six of the thirteen wasted out-patients came to the clinic without a caregiver and were unable to carry their monthly provision (12 kg) of RUTF home because of physical frailty. Despite the patients\u2019 enthusiasm about their weight gain and rapid resumption of labour activities, the taste of the product, diet monotony and clinical conditions associated with HIV made it impossible for half of them to consume the daily prescription. Sharing the RUTF with other household members and mixing with other foods were common. Staff training did not include therapeutic dietetic counselling.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S1368980010003435_abs6\" sec-type=\"conclusion\"><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>The level of reported compliance with the prescribed dose of RUTF was low. An improved approach to treating malnourished HIV-positive adults in limited resource contexts is needed and must consider strategies to support patients without a caregiver, development of therapeutic foods more suited to adult taste, specific dietetic training for health staff and the provision of liquid therapeutic foods for severely ill patients.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1017\/s1368980010003435","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,2,4]],"date-time":"2011-02-04T13:57:58Z","timestamp":1296827878000},"page":"316-323","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":24,"title":["A qualitative investigation of adherence to nutritional therapy in malnourished adult AIDS patients in Kenya"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Filippo","family":"Dibari","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Paluku","family":"Bahwere","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Isabelle","family":"Le Gall","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Saul","family":"Guerrero","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David","family":"Mwaniki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andrew","family":"Seal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,2,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"S1368980010003435_ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2147\/PPA.S4636"},{"key":"S1368980010003435_ref24","volume-title":"HIV\/AIDS Mitigation: Using What We Already Know.
