Re: [pronut-hiv] Integrating Nutrition into ARV Treatment Programs

["materu" <materu@ud.co.tz>]

This is a very important seminar.  We hope that the information will also be
shared through this network, especially the ideas on priority interventions
for incorporating nutrition actions into ARV treatment programs. The FANTA
technical notes on Food and Nutrition implications of Antiretroviral Therapy
is also a very useful resource.
