The Gator team assesses the growth and body composition of HIV positive pediatric patients, and has a specific interest in HIV Associated Metabolic Disorder (HAMD).  Studies have shown that HIV positive children are susceptible to growth delays, while their antiretroviral therapies may have an additional negative effect on growth.  The goal of the Gator team is to further investigate these trends while also providing preventative nutrition-based care for our patients.
