updAIDS: Editorial: HIV care beyond garlic, beetroot and olive oil

Abstract

This edition’s SAFP updAIDS column features the third article in a series of four articles on paediatric HIV/AIDS care focusing on best strategies to maintain children and adolescents on antiretroviral therapy. In the week prior to the Toronto AIDS Conference, which has unfortunately been in the news as a result of culinary and nutritional issues rather than life saving scientific breakthroughs, the World Health Organization published detailed guidelines for the treatment of infants and children in resource-limited settings.
