 AB    The immune system is impaired by either malnutrition or human
       immunodeficiency virus infection. When these occur together, their
       compounding effects promote altered metabolism, inadequate intake, and
       malabsorption, which further impair immune function and contribute to
       human immunodeficiency virus wasting. Careful dietary management can
       help meet nutritional needs without further compromising the immune
       status of the person living with acquired immune deficiency syndrome.
