Regional Consultation on Nutrition and HIV/AIDS
Evidence, lessons and recommendations for action in South-East Asia
8-11 October 2007, Bangkok, Thailand
Of the approximately 39.5 million people living with HIV/AIDS worldwide in 2006, an estimated 4 million people were in the South-East Asia Region. High malnutrition rates are persisting in the South-East Asia Region where food is often identified as most immediately and critically needed by people living with HIV/AIDS and others affected by the pandemic. Scaling-up care and antiretroviral therapy cannot be addressed without planning for appropriate nutrition. Governments are currently grappling with a range of programme and policy challenges related to food, nutrition and HIV/AIDS. Building on global experiences and knowledge, this consultation will recognize the status and extent of the problem in SEAR, and will propose, both, technical and operational plans to address it.
