Dear Marlow

Would you be so kind to send me the draft of your guidelines. I am a nutrition lecturer at UNISA (South Africa) teaching non-nutrition students nutrition and HIV and AIDS. Our students often need a more home-base care focus.

Dear Daisy and others

Many guidelines mentioned in this discussion are guidelines that are developed for health workers.

For SAfAIDS, in ZImbabwe, I wrote guidelines on nutrition and HIV/AIDS for use in the home /home care setting. The content is based mainly on the FAO/WHO guidelines, but more practical, shorter and using simpler language. I also wrote a series of fact sheets to accompany this booklet for health workers. I have not seen the final version, but you could contact SAfAIDS for this publication.

If you, or others, fail to get a copy I could send you the draft.

Kind regards

Marlou Bijlsma

Dear Nutritionists,

A lot has been written on Nutrition and HIV/AIDS. However, I wanted some
advice on how I can come up with standard nutrition guidelines for PLWHA,
which I intend to submit/recommend to my government as soon as possible.
Apparently our Ministry of Health has not yet developed these as yet.

Your help is greatly appreciated.
