More than 50 medical experts and five U.S. government agencies worked together to produce a series of papers on integrating nutrition with HIV medicine.1 These papers, addressed mainly to medical professionals, review "general nutritional management, evaluation and intervention for wasting, insulin resistance, fat redistribution, dyslipidemia, lactic acidosis, food safety, and bone abnormalities" (from the introduction). They summarize nutrition doctors should know about when treating HIV disease.

The titles of the articles are:
