Research is needed on treating anemia, malnutrition and other dietary conditions as well as on optimum micronutrients for patients accessing HAART and for patients prior to accessing treatment. [See also %{c:13}] Increased clarity is needed for providers, caregivers and patients on nutritional needs in settings of marked food insecurity. A Cochrane review which included 16 studies with weak methodologies found that “the evidence-base for the specific effect of micronutrient supplements in children and adults with HIV is limited, but sufficient to make some recommendations for practice. In the absence of population-specific adverse effects, there is no reason to decline similar recommendations for HIV-infected populations” (Irlam et al., 2010: 16).

Further interventions are needed to provide support (physical, psychological, technological, economic) to patients and caregivers. Studies showed that patients and caregivers have many physical, psychological, and economic unmet needs, with high rates of depression and poverty, and in some cases, rely on their young children or relatives to provide care with no outside support. Some studies show that caregivers suffer from stigma attached to caring for someone HIV-positive. [See also %{s:67}] Some studies showed that women have a lower quality of life than men. A study in a high HIV prevalence area showed that for women, lack of control in sexual decision-making was associated with depression, while for men, intergenerational sex was associated with depression.
