Nausea and vomiting are symptoms often experienced by individuals with HIV disease. The etiologies are multifactorial, yet the symptoms have not been well studied in HIV research. Interventions currently used are adapted from the oncology setting and remain to be tested on patients with HIV. The purpose of this article is to review and discuss the symptoms of nausea and vomiting and to emphasize the need for research in this area.
