Taking a Closer Look at the Significance of Nutrition in Managing HIV

Host: Charles Turck, PharmD, BCPS, BCCCP Guest: Sorana Segal-Maurer, MD Research has shown that those living with HIV are more likely to be malnourished and experience nutrient deficiencies that play an essential role in their immunity. In the early days of HIV, a typical recommendation was to increase a patient’s calorie count. To discuss how the focus on nutrition has changed now that this patient population is living much longer, Dr. Charles Turck is joined by Dr. Sorana Segal-Maurer, Director of Infectious Diseases at New York-Presbyterian Queens and Professor of Clinical Medicine at Weill Cornell Medicine in New York City.
