Objective:
The objective of this scoping review is to map the current literature and resources available on nutrition and food programming for people living with HIV/AIDS in Canada. This review is phase 1 of a 4-phase, provincially funded project called FoodNOW (Food to eNhance Our Wellness) focused on nutritional assessment of people living with HIV/AIDS in Nova Scotia, Canada.
Introduction:
People living with HIV/AIDS may experience nutritional challenges, including food insecurity and nutrition-drug interactions. Nutritional programming is required for optimal care for people living with HIV/AIDS, however, there is a lack of information within the literature about current nutrition and food programming in Canada. This proposed review will investigate available programming and gaps.
Inclusion Criteria:
This review will consider literature focused on nutrition and food programming and resources in Canada for people living with HIV/AIDS. People living with HIV/AIDS of any age, sex, race, gender identity, or sexual orientation, including pregnant and lactating people living with HIV/AIDS, will be included as population of interest.
Methods:
The following databases will be searched: MEDLINE (EBSCO), CINAHL (EBSCO), Academic Search Premier (EBSCO), Social Services Abstracts (ProQuest), and Scopus. Types of gray literature eligible for review include reports from service providers and online public newspaper articles written by, with, or about people living with HIV/AIDS. Two independent reviewers will assess each study and any conflicts will be resolved through discussion. Data will be extracted by 2 independent reviewers. Results will be presented in tabular or diagrammatic format, with a narrative summary.
