Zambia Nutrition Guidelines for Care and Support of People Living with HIV and AIDS (2011)Zambia Counseling Flipchart – Eating and Living Well with HIV and AIDS: Good Nutrition Makes a Difference (2011)
Zambia has been hit hard by HIV and AIDS. Zambia’s Ministry of Health, National AIDS/AIDS/STI/TB Council, and National Food and Nutrition Commission worked with partners to revise the 2004 Nutrition Guidelines for Care and Support of People Living with HIV and AIDS and 2006 flipchart Eating and Living Well with HIV and AIDS: Good Nutrition Makes a Difference to provide updated information to individuals and organizations on nutrition assessment, counseling, and support (NACS) for people living with HIV (PLHIV). NACS has become an effective and replicable approach for meeting the nutritional needs of malnourished PLHIV in clinical settings, significantly enhancing the care and treatment provided, and meeting the needs of HIV-affected individuals, such as clinically malnourished adult PLHIV and pregnant or lactating HIV-positive women. The updated guidelines are the basis for all NACS activities in Zambia and serve as a point of reference for all partners involved in nutrition support activities. The updates to the guidelines and the flipchart harmonize the entry and exit criteria for nutrition product support between the existing Integrated Management of Acute Malnutrition (IM-AM) program and the NACS program. |
