Despite the widespread use of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) since the late 1990s and the concomitant increase in the life expectancy of people living with HIV (PLHIV), malnutrition and HIV-associated wasting continue to pose significant challenges, particularly in developing countries. Additionally, metabolic adverse effects associated with HAART, such as alterations in bone and lipid metabolism, as well as the impact on cardiovascular health, add further complexity to patient care. Methods: We conducted a comprehensive literature review of relevant studies involving adults diagnosed with HIV. The studies, published between 2000 and 2023, were identified using the Medline\/PubMed, Scopus and Google Scholar databases. Results: Accumulating evidence in the literature indicates that careful monitoring and appropriate nutritional interventions can significantly enhance clinical outcomes in malnourished HIV-positive persons. The importance of addressing the prevalent deficiencies in certain micronutrients discussed in many of the studies is clearly underlined. However, challenges remain, particularly in low-income settings, where limited resources and infrastructure can impede effective implementation. Conclusions: There are critical research gaps with regard to the interaction between ART and nutrition, as well as the development of tailored nutritional approaches that aim to improve patient outcomes. Future research directions and policy strategies should focus on the development of sustainable programmes aimed at enhancing the quality of life for PLHIV.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/diseases13020056","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,14]],"date-time":"2025-02-14T03:20:52Z","timestamp":1739503252000},"page":"56","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Nutritional Status of Adult People Living with HIV: A Narrative Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-2912-7162","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Stella","family":"Proikaki","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"MSc in Public Health, Department of Public Health Policy, University of West Attica, 11521 Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nikolaos","family":"Georgiadis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"MSc in Public Health, Department of Public Health Policy, University of West Attica, 11521 Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9355-5528","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Theodoros N.","family":"Sergentanis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"MSc in Public Health, Department of Public Health Policy, University of West Attica, 11521 Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eleni","family":"Kornarou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"MSc in Public Health, Department of Public Health Policy, University of West Attica, 11521 Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9993-1897","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tonia","family":"Vassilakou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"MSc in Public Health, Department of Public Health Policy, University of West Attica, 11521 Athens, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"UNAIDS (2024, October 19).
