HIV, lactation, and body composition

Congratulations to Dr. Elizabeth Widen and co-authors whose manuscript “Food insecurity, but not HIV-infection status, is associated with adverse changes in body composition during lactation in Ugandan women of mixed HIV status” has been published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. To our knowledge, this is the first publication to examine the role of food insecurity on weight changes in HIV+ women during lactation. These exciting results from the NAPS Ugandan pregnancy cohort can be found here.
