Nutrition

Women's nutrition throughout the lifecycle and in the context of HIV/AIDS (pdf 535kb)

This 'train-the-trainer' module explores issues relating to women's nutrition: women's nutritional status, causes of malnutrition, the effects of malnutrition on the intergenerational life cycle, the consequences of inadequate weight and height, micronutrient deficiencies, and interventions to improve women's nutrition.

The module also addresses the synergistic relationship between nutrition and HIV infection, the nutritional requirements of HIV-positive pregnant or lactating women and adolescent girls, and nutritional care and support of HIV-positive women.
