Abstract
We studied the level of food insecurity among households with
HIV-infected children and its relationship with childhood nutritional
indicators. Among the 147 children assessed, food insecurity was
present in 59% of households. Majority of children with stunting
belonged to-food insecure families. Stunting and Underweight
were more prevalent among children >5 years of age.
