HIV/AIDS - Research and Palliative Care Oct 30, 2020

Yisak H, Ambaw B, Walle Z, et al. - An institution-based cross-sectional study was carried out in health institutions of Debre Tabor town to evaluate minimum acceptable diet and associated factors among HIV-exposed 6– 24 months aged children. The research was performed on 287 mother-child pairs attending antiretroviral therapy and prevention of mother-to-child transmission at public health facilities. According to results, approximately 76% and 58.2% of children were fed with appropriate meal frequency and recommended dietary diversity, respectively. The authors discovered that the proportion of children who obtained a minimally acceptable diet was lower than that of WHO recommendation for good practice. The low minimum acceptable diet was associated with knowledge, maternal workload and information related to complementary feeding.
