Hungry, homeless, and HIV: a study of homeless visitors to an outreach meal center for people with AIDS

Article Abstract:

The nutritional status of 16 homeless individuals afflicted with HIV/AIDS at three non-profit community outreach program centers in New York City are examined. Results indicate that the mean calorie intake per day is 2040 calories which is 65% of the calculated need while the mean protein intake is 82 grams, 46% of the reference standard. These findings confirm the inadequacy of food resources at different program centers and the deficient nutritional intake of HIV/AIDS infected individuals.
