PENGARUH PEMBERIAN ANTIRETROVIRAL TERHADAP PERUBAHAN NILAI ANTROPOMETRI PENDERITA Human Immunodeficiency Virus/Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome.

In 2005 an estimated nearly 38,6 million people infected with HIV and 2,8 million died. Evidence suggests the existence of a very important relationship between the output and repair nutrients HIV/AIDS. Poor nutritional status in HIV/AIDS can be caused by several factors, namely the intake and absorption of inadequate nutrition, metabolic changes, hypermetabolism, or a combination of these, changes in the gastrointestinal tract as well as interactions between drugs and nutrients. Although losing weight remains on the HAART era, but the side effects of HAART and lipodystrophy to be a problem . The purpose of this study to determine whether the provision of antiretroviral effect on changes in anthropometric values people with HIV/AIDS. Research using the one group pre - post test design ( quasi- experimental ), by assessing changes in anthropometric values in subjects with HIV before and after the administration of ARV. Analysis of the data is computerized . Obtained 30 samples of the study with anthropometric changes pre and post ARVs 6 months. Weight 51,4 ± 9,12 to 53,6 ± 8,68 with a p-value 0,001, BMI 19,98 ± 3,47 into 20.84 ± 3,35 with p value 0,001 and upper arm circumference 24,13±3,62 become 24,95±3,48 with a p-value 0,003. The provision of antiretroviral drugs for 6 months influence the change in nutritional status of HIV patients are assessed by anthropometric measure. Significant changes in the changes body weight, BMI and upper arm circumference. Changes in anthropometric values ARV efavirenz group and non-efavirenz meaningful change significant in skinfold thickness obtained at the value of p 0,010. There were no significant changes in anthropometric values compared to patients with early stage HIV and advanced stage after 6 months of antiretroviral therapy
