Nutrition
HIV/AIDS leads to reduced household
income, reduced agricultural production, and increased expenses,
which exacerbate malnutrition. Poor nutrition increases
the risk and progression of disease. Therefore, food and
nutrition play an important role in prevention, care, and
mitigation activities in HIV/AIDS-affected communities.
Using lessons learned from USAID-funded research into the
best uses of food aid programs to mitigate the impact of
HIV/AIDS, USAID is responding to the nutritional needs of
affected households and communities.
