Putting the Pieces Together
A Companion Guide for Improving Nutrition and Food Safety for Persons Living with HIV/AIDS

Many health fraud scammers use diet and nutrition as a means of hooking the public. For people with HIV and cancer, these scams can be ruinous for both
the person's health and wallet. The coalition in Florida has taken the opportunity of publishing the Putting the Pieces Together nutrition guide book as a means of foiling the hawkers of fraudulent products and treatments, and of informing clients and practitioners about the special dietary needs of HIV+ and people with wasting syndrome.

This is the 4th Edition of Putting the Pieces Together. It was compiled and edited by the Florida Health Fraud Coalition. The project was originally conceived by the WIC and Nutrition Unit of the Pasco County Health Department. It is funded by the FDA and by the Florida Department of Health, Bureau of HIV/AIDS.

It is intended to be used by people living with HIV/AIDS and the nutritionists and dietitians who serve them. The directory is available here as an Adobe Acrobat file. To view and print this file, you will need the free Adobe Acrobat reader.

Remember, you can report AIDS health fraud by calling the Florida HIV/AIDS Hotline at 1-800-FLA-AIDS or by sending e-mail to hivhotline@211bigbend.org.
