That's good. these guidelines are very important. I was just in a committee
to develop one for Kenya, and it is being refined now. They have two
guidelines
1. Curriculum for training in all colleges and university.
2. management of Nutrition In HIV /AIDS.
I will borrow some ideas from your guidelines. good work keep it up.

population-based survey, the national HIV/AIDS prevalence was estimated at
16%. Knowing the importance of good nutrition, the Government of Zambia
initiated development of guidelines to provide information to individuals
and organizations on the nutritional care and support for people living with
HIV and AIDS (PLWHA). With support from USAID/Lusaka, FANTA provided
technical assistance to a team lead by the National Food and Nutrition
Commission (NFNC) to complete and disseminate these guidelines.
