• Intervention
    What is the evidence regarding education on foodborne illness for people with HIV infection and their caregivers?
    • Conclusion

      Six studies were evaluated regarding education about foodborne illness in people with HIV infection. One narrative review concluded that people with HIV infection are more susceptible to foodborne illness. Two studies reported confusion and lack of knowledge regarding food safety. Two studies evaluating home-delivered meals programs for people with HIV infection report strong adherence to food safety guidelines in the preparation and delivery of meals. One study evaluating a program that included a component of foodborne illness education demonstrated a decrease in the number of symptoms and eating difficulties in people with HIV infection.
