Nutrition and HIV/AIDS: A Training Manual for Nurses and Midwives

Publication Cover

Nurses play a critical role in HIV care, but nursing school curricula often include little or no information on nutrition and HIV. This manual provides materials for teaching nursing students the knowledge and skills needed for nutrition care and support of people living with HIV. While designed to be used for pre-service training, it can also be used or adapted for in-service training. FANTA worked with the East, Central and Southern African Health Community to develop the manual. The three-part manual includes basic information about HIV, technical information, and guidance on nutrition care for different clients living with HIV.
