Association of Pre-Treatment Nutritional Status with CD4 and Viral Load Response to Antiretroviral Therapy in Rwandan Women

Abstract: 

The global scale-up of care and treatment for persons living with HIV has made antiretroviral therapy (ART) available in populations with higher prevalence of low nutritional status than in the populations in which efficacy and toxicity of antiretroviral agents were assessed in clinical trials. Rwanda’s HIV treatment program strives to provide care and ART as indicated to all HIV-infected Rwandans.
