Abstract
Human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immune deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) has affected people on a global basis. It has been shown that dietary fats may play a role in the parthenogenesis of the infection and disease progression. By examining the effects of saturated, unsaturated, and omega-3 fatty acids on HIV infection, it was found that HIV infection could be halted with the consumption of these dietary fats. The virus can be then further immobilized with prolonged antiretroviral therapy and clinical sessions. Dietary fats have the ability to reduce problems related to body composition and health in persons with HIV.
