WHO: Integrating nutrition into the overall response to HIV/AIDS

The World Health Assembly adopted a resolution requesting countries to
include nutrition an integral part of the overall response to HIV/AIDS
by identifying nutrition interventions for immediate integration into
HIV/AIDS programmes. Food and good nutrition are immediate and critical
needs of people living with HIV/AIDS. The Health Assembly also supported
WHO to develop a five-year-plan to help acheive universal access to
HIV/AIDS treatment by 2010.
