The National HIV/AIDS Nutrition Guidelines Working Group is progressing towards publication of National Nutrition Guidelines for HIV-positive people. The feature article in this issue is an expansion of a literature review completed by members of the Macronutrients, Micronutrients, and Non-Essential Dietary Supplements subgroup. L-carnitine was chosen for review by the subgroup because it represents one of the most frequently used complementary nutrition products among people living with HIV infection. We look forward to publishing the results of literature reviews on other subjects being studied by this group in the future.
