HIV-1 seropositivity and eating disorders: a case report

The International Journal of Eating Disorders
J F Morgan, J H Lacey

Abstract

We report a case of bulimia nervosa in a 21-year-old HIV-positive woman whose seropositivity provoked sustained motivation for recovery from her eating disorder. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first report of HIV-1 seropositivity leading to a clinical improvement in an eating disorder. We review the literature, in which the negative impact of seropositivity has been emphasized, and we explore the complex interaction between eating disorders and HIV-1 infection, considering both nutritional and psychological factors.
