With the lack of highly active anti\u2010retroviral therapy for most HIV\u2010infected patients in developing countries, nutritional counselling about high protein diet can be an essential intervention to reduce weight loss and improve weight gain and survival outcomes.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Method.\u2002<\/jats:bold> We used secondary\u2010analytic data collected in summer 2003. Recorded monthly weights of HIV\u2010positive patients were obtained and analysed for 25 people, whose ages ranged from 21 to 60\u2003years, with a mean of 39\u00b74\u2003years (<jats:sc>sd<\/jats:sc>\u2003=\u200310\u00b713).<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results.\u2002<\/jats:bold> HIV\u2010positive patients responded favourably to nutritional counselling about protein dietary intake as an intervention to improve weight gain.

The health and nutritional status of the patients can be improved through nutritious food, allowing them to lead longer and better quality lives.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2648.2006.03855.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,5,30]],"date-time":"2006-05-30T18:22:03Z","timestamp":1149013323000},"page":"676-682","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Nutritional counselling: an intervention for HIV\u2010positive patients"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"54","author":[{"given":"Marian","family":"Tabi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Robert L.","family":"Vogel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,5,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","volume-title":"National AIDS\/STD Control Programme (NACP).
