Abstract:
The National Guidelines for HIV/AIDS and Nutrition in Ethiopia (hereafter referred to
as the Guidelines) define the nutrition actions for service providers to take in
providing quality care and support to people living with HIV and AIDS (PLHIV) at
sites that provide HIV counseling and testing (HCT), maternal and child health
(MCH) care, antiretroviral therapy (ART), services for orphans and vulnerable
children (OVC), and home-based care (HBC). The Guidelines seek to assist the
various categories of people infected with and/or affected by HIV: adults, pregnant
and lactating women, adolescents, severely malnourished adults and children, and
people on medication.
