[pronut-hiv] Case studies of success using nutrition for PLWHA

[Judy Canahuati <jcanahuati@care.org>]

Dear all,

I'm putting together a CD ROM to send to our field staff in our CARE 
country offices on nutrition and HIV.  I would love to include some case 
studies or research on successful experiences using food and or nutrition 
education/support in care and support of  children/women/families/communities living with HIV.

Do any of you have information/research/case studies that I could include 
on the CD?

When I was visiting some of our Country offices, many of the staff 
said that they considered HIV as the most important emergency that they 
had, even in the "drought-affected" countries.  However, there don't seem 
to be any good guidelines for either nutrition in this situation, much less 
the use of foods, beyond increasing rations.   Are there case studies about 
combining food rations, supplements or perhaps micronutrient sprinkles and 
gardens that don't require intensive labor or any combination of these?

Thanks.

Judy
