Background . Nutritional status is an important determinant of HIV outcomes.  Objective . To assess the nutrient intake and nutrient status of HIV seropositive patients attending an AIDS outpatient clinic, to improve the nutritional management of HIV-infected patients.  Design . Prospective cohort study.  Setting . Comprehensive care clinic in Chulaimbo Sub-District Hospital, Kenya.  Subjects . 497 HIV sero-positive adults attending the clinic.   Main Outcome Measures . Evaluation of nutrient intake using 24-hour recall, food frequency checklist, and nutrient status using biochemical assessment indicators (haemoglobin, creatinine, serum glutamate pyruvate (SGPT) and mean corpuscular volume (MCV)).  Results . Among the 497 patients recruited (M : F sex ratio: 1.4, mean age: 39 years ± 10.5 y),  Generally there was inadequate nutrient intake reported among the HIV patients, except iron (10.49 ± 3.49 mg). All the biochemical assessment indicators were within normal range except for haemoglobin 11.2 g/dL (11.4 ± 2.60 male and 11.2 ± 4.25 female).  Conclusions . Given its high frequency, malnutrition should be prevented, detected, monitored, and treated from the early stages of HIV infection among patients attending AIDS clinics in order to improve survival and quality of life.
