There is convincing evidence on the relationship between the HIV and tuberculosis (TB) epidemics and malnutrition and food insecurity. As a result, the integration of food and nutritional support as a cost‑effective investment in HIV and TB programming is recommended by several organizations and international initiatives, including the World Health Organization (WHO), the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), the World Food Programme, the United States President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and the Food and Nutrition Technical Assistance Project III (FANTA-3).
