AF]


Coming January 2003- Join now!

ProNut-HIV is a program to discuss nutrition and HIV/AIDS issues.

ProNut- HIV, a new electronic forum, aims to share up-to-date
information, knowledge and experiences on nutrition and HIV/AIDS.

Our first discussion group deals with how to enhance positive living
through proper nutrition care and support by promoting a constructive
dialogue between PLWHA, front line workers, researchers, HIV/AIDS
specialists and policy makers.

Proper nutritional care and support of people living with HIV/AIDS
(PLWHA) helps to strengthen the immune function, reduce the severity of
opportunistic infections, alleviate HIV/AIDS-related symptoms, prevent
the 
negative effects of medication and food interactions on the nutritional
status of PLWHA, as well as contributes to the efficacy of  and
adherence to medications. Recognizing that, international and national
guidelines on nutrition care and support of PLWHA have been developed
and are being used 
in Africa. Given the increased number of PLWHA in Africa, including
infected and affected mothers and children, this forum aims to share
up-to-date information, knowledge and experiences on nutrition care and 
support of PLWHA.

The forum intends to focus primarily on the nutrition care and support
of mothers and children, and later on the focus may shift to the
nutrition care and support of other groups such as adults (men and
women) and elderly.

We invite PLWHA, front line workers, researchers and program planners in
HIV/AIDS and policy makers to actively participate and contribute to the
dialogue. To maintain a high-quality and lively interaction, expert 
moderators in HIV/AIDS and Nutrition will facilitate the discussion.

As collaborating partners, SATELLIFE and Academy for Educational
Development (AED) administer and support ProNut-HIV.  SATELLIFE's
mission is to serve the urgent health needs of the world's poorest
nations by 
stimulating the flow of information and creating local knowledge

development and the environment in the United States and throughout the
