1. To identify the foods commonly consumed by PLHIV attending HIV clinics at RRH in Uganda.
2. To compare dietary patterns of malnourished and non-malnourished HIV patients attending HIV clinics at RRH in Uganda.
3. To explore demographic, socio-economic and hospital care factors associated with dietary patterns among HIV patients attending HIV clinics at RRH in Uganda.
4. To identify and compare coping mechanisms during food scarcity between the malnourished and non-malnourished HIV patients attending HIV clinics at RRH in Uganda.
