  • Title: Home-delivered meal programs for homebound people with HIV/AIDS.
    Author: Kraak VI.
    Journal: J Am Diet Assoc; 1995 Apr; 95(4):476-81. PubMed ID: 7699191.
    Abstract:
    In major cities within the past decade, 17 community-based, home-delivered meal programs have emerged to meet the specialized nutrition needs of homebound people living with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS). This review includes specifics about these meal programs: funding, eligibility criteria, establishing and following nutrition and food safety standards, creating a network of volunteers for delivery of meals, providing nutrition counseling, and conducting periodic program evaluation. People living with HIV/AIDS may need the services of home-delivered meal programs throughout the course of HIV disease. Clinical dietitians and public health nutritionists should become familiar with existing programs and refer clients to services as needed.
