In which, the degeneration of CD4+ T Lymphocytes occurs, thus increasing the frequency of opportunistic diseases. Objective: To evaluate the impact of one or more opportunistic diseases on the nutritional status of HIV patients admitted to a university hospital. Methods: Cross-sectional, prospective study carried out in a university hospital. A research protocol was applied in order to know the sociodemographic data, clinical symptoms, anthropometric data and the presence of opportunistic diseases. Results: In the sample, there was a prevalence of 56.01% of females, with 51% in the age group from 25 to 39 years old, 70.7% of patients declared they had a partner. Among the clinical symptoms, dry mouth was more prevalent (56%). Malnutrition was more prevalent in all anthropometric variables, however, when correlating them with opportunistic diseases, it was not possible to observe statistical significance. As for opportunistic diseases, Pulmonary Tuberculosis was the most recurrent (32.4%), alone (12.95%) or associated (19.45%). Conclusion: Early nutritional monitoring is essential, as malnutrition was found to be of greater relevance, aiming at reestablishing the nutritional status of HIV-infected patients.Acesso AbertoHIVInfecções oportunistasDesnutriçãoHIVOpportunistic InfectionsMalnutritionCNPQ::CIENCIAS DA SAUDE::NUTRIÇÃOTrabalho de Curso - Graduação - Monografia
