Description
As the patient load at antiretroviral clinics increases with the drive to meet the goals of the HIV, AIDS and STI Strategic Plan for South Africa, 2007-2011, there is a need to conduct research to enable the development of population-specific guidelines and policies. An understanding of the effect of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) on various aspects of health of HIV-infected individuals in South Africa, including nutritional status, is needed. Although there are data available from some African countries (1) indicating that HAART may result in changes in body composition and other anthropometric measures, no such figures for South African adults have been published in the peer-reviewed literature.
