Abstract

Weight loss and malnutrition are the most common symptoms associated with active infection with human immunodeficiency virus. The origin of the malnutrition is considered multifactorial and broadly includes decreased nutrient intake, nutrient malabsorption, and metabolic alterations. Steady advances have been made in understanding the mechanisms underlying weight loss in these patients. The utility and optimal modes of nutrition support have not yet been fully established.
