E-DRUG: Innovative Nutritional Products Needed for Malnourished Children(4)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi E-druggers,
The issue of nutrition for HIV infected children to make them stronger
to tolerate ARVs, though a good strategy, needs to be rethought.
Replacement feeding for the first six months of life is all that is
needed to ensure we have no HIV positive kids in the first place.
Apart from a few mainly academic models in africa, the use of replacement feeds has largely been ignored in the global fight with more emphasis being on treatment.
