Dietary Supplement: Maltodextrin (placebo for symbiotic)Behavioral: Nutritional intervention

Interventions

SymbioticDIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

6g sachet composition: Lactobacillus paracasei, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactobacillus acidophillus, Bifidobacterium lactis and fructooligosaccharides. Each patient was instructed to consume two sachets per day, one in the morning and another before bedtime, diluted in 100 ml of filtered or boiled water at room temperature. The dietary supplement should be taken every day for 6 months.

Symbiotic & Nutritional intervention

6g sachet of maltodextrin, a complex carbohydrate. Each patient was instructed to consume two sachets per day, one in the morning and another before bedtime, diluted in 100 ml of filtered or boiled water at room temperature. Placebo should be taken daily for 6 months.

Maltodextrin & Nutritional intervention

Nutritional intervention consists of dietary prescription (nutritional eating plan) for healthy eating based on the Dietary Guidelines for the Brazilian Population and Clinical Manual on Food and Nutrition in HIV-infected Adults Care, both Brazil Ministry of Health guidelines, in addition to nutritional counseling for preexistent clinical conditions.
