Nutrition and HIV are strongly related to each other. A person with HIV infection is more at risk for malnutrition for reasons such as reduced food intake, poor absorption, changes in metabolism, chronic infections and illnesses, anorexia, diarrhoea, fever, nausea, oral and oesophageal infections, and anaemia. The management of those conditions and the provision of nutritional support are effective interventions that are fundamental to other HIV/AIDS care activities.
Its is against such Background that Human Rights First Rwanda Association embarked on a sentization drive to HIV infected moms and also provided them with food stuffs and agriculture seedlings to grow crops and vegetables which are benefecial for their nutrition and Health.
