World Bank: HIV/AIDS, Nutrition, and Food Security: What We Can Do, a synthesis of international guidance

This 2007 report from the World Bank is a synthesis of existing technical guidance on HIV and AIDS, nutrition, and food security at global and regional levels. The synthesis aims to provide decision makers and service providers, especially those who design and manage programs, with guidance on how nutrition may be integrated into HIV prevention and AIDS treatment. Guidance is particularly aimed at national AIDS programs in Sub-Saharan Africa.

The synthesis draws on available international guidelines and related documents from AED/FANTA, FAO, IFPRI, PATH, UNAIDS, UNHCR, UNICEF, USAID, WFP and WHO.

The document is divided into 5 main sections:
1) Improving HIV and AIDS outcomes through nutrition support
2) Treatment, care and support
3) Food assistance as HIV and AIDS treatment support
4) Food, food security, HIV and AIDS
5) HIV, AIDS, Nutirition and food in an emergency context

The report is available to download from the World Bank website.
