During recent years, many agents for the treatment and prophylaxis of HIV infection and the opportunistic infections that accompany HIV infection have been developed, and many new ways of monitoring HIV infection in children have been produced.

Download or read book HIV Infection in Children written by Jacqueline Mok and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1995-06-15 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As HIV infection in childhood increases, concomitant with the spread in adult infection, so too is there rapid expansion in our knowledge of the complexities of paediatric infection. Clearly general paediatricians and other members of the multidisciplinary team of carers will increasingly be seeking guidance on management strategies to address a wide range of complex clinical problems. This very practical and concise volume discusses the epidemiology, diagnosis, natural history and care of the HIV infected child. As the book draws upon an international team of contributors, the considerable differences between European treatment strategies and those of North America can be contrasted and evaluated. This guide will be of particular interest to paediatricians, whether in a hospital, specialist unit or community based setting. General practitioners, obstetricians, nurses, counsellors and epidemiologists should also benefit from this book.

Download or read book Nutrition and HIV written by Saurabh Mehta and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-05-15 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world continues to lose more than a million lives each year to the HIV epidemic, and nearly two million individuals were infected with HIV in 2017 alone. The new Sustainable Development Goals, adopted by countries of the United Nations in September 2015, include a commitment to end the AIDS epidemic by 2030. Considerable emphasis on prevention of new infections and treatment of those living with HIV will be needed to make this goal achievable. With nearly 37 million people now living with HIV, it is a communicable disease that behaves like a noncommunicable disease. Nutritional management is integral to comprehensive HIV care and treatment. Improved nutritional status and weight gain can increase recovery and strength of individuals living with HIV/AIDS, improve dietary diversity and caloric intake, and improve quality of life. This book highlights evidence-based research linking nutrition and HIV and identifies research gaps to inform the development of guidelines and policies for the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. A comprehensive approach that includes nutritional interventions is likely to maximize the benefit of antiretroviral therapy in preventing HIV disease progression and other adverse outcomes in HIV-infected men and women. Modification of nutritional status has been shown to enhance the quality of life of those suffering HIV/AIDS, both physically in terms of improved body mass index and immunological markers, and psychologically, by improving symptoms of depression. While the primary focus for those infected should remain on antiretroviral treatment and increasing its availability and coverage, improvement of nutritional status plays a complementary role in the management of HIV infection.
