AIDS Nutrition Supplement Study: McGaw Inc. said that it has agreed to joint research with a Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., research firm to test whether good nutrition can stem the onset of AIDS in HIV patients. The $320,000 study, being conducted by the Florida-based Center for Special Immunology, seeks to determine if a high-energy nutritional product developed by McGaw is effective in bolstering the immune system of those infected with the HIV virus, company officials said. The study will be the first of its kind to test early-stage HIV patients to see if altering nutrition slows the development of “full-blown” AIDS, company officials said.
