Summary
Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID 19) has rapidly spread around the world with approximately 37.9 million People Living with HIV (PLWH) at risk of infection with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona Virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The pandemic has the potential to lead to serious negative health outcomes for PLWH. Lack of effective antiretroviral treatment (ART) against SARS-CoV-2 impede the current measures to fight the disease threatening immuno-compromised individuals’ lives. Supportive therapy plays a major role for the patients to fight this pandemic. The main objective of this study is to determine the effect of Covi soup on BMI, Immunological and Hematological parameters among PLWH. Specific objectives are to determine the effect of Covi soup on; Body Mass Index (BMI); CD4+ cell count; Viral Load (VL) and Hematological parameters. This will be an Open Randomized Control Trial (RCT) conducted in Kakamega County Teaching and Referral Hospital (KCTRH) Comprehensive Care Centre (CCC) from August to November 2023. Purposive sampling will be used to select the study area and study site while systematic random sampling will be used to select the study participants. Block randomization will be used to place participants in either treatment group or control group. Approximately 48,752 are PLWH in Kakamega County. A RCT formula will be used to determine the sample size of 60 participants assuming 30 participant for treatment group and 30 for control group. Treatment group will receive standard care alongside Covi soup while the control group will exclusive receive standard care. Data will be collected using researcher administered questionnaire and laboratory report forms. Data will be keyed in Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS) and analyzed using paired t-test to determine the effect of Covi soup on BMI, CD4+ cell count, VL and Hematological parameters.
