N2 - This study describes the nutritional status and complications of people with HIV/AIDS. Of the 107 participants, 42% were considered “at nutritional risk” and 12% were considered malnourished. The most commonly reported complications contributing to nutritional risk included food insecurity (46%), diarrhea (36%), poor appetite (34%), lipodystrophy (31%), hyperlipidemia (30%), nausea (26%), and obesity (22%), a mix of malnutrition and metabolic complications. Food insecurity alone was found to be a significant predictor of nutritional risk. This study demonstrates that people with HIV/AIDS continue to be at increased nutritional risk and that complications are complex. Nutritional screening and intervention are paramount.
