NCT ID NCT07620197
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether daily cassava root and sesame seed granules, along with nutrition education, could improve the nutritional health of adults with HIV. Sixty-four participants took part, receiving either the granules plus education or education alone for 16 weeks. The goal was to see if this simple food supplement could help address malnutrition common in people living with HIV.
