Management of antiretroviral-related nutritional problems: state of the science.
A number of new nutritional problems have been documented in HIV-infected persons treated with antiretroviral therapy, but only a limited amount of data exist on strategies to manage these problems. Initial studies have focused on drug therapy as the sole management strategy. Controlled trials are needed to confirm the benefits of drug therapy and to evaluate the usefulness of preventive measures, lifestyle changes, and complementary and alternative therapies in managing antiretroviral-related nutritional problems.
