Special guests include a woman living with HIV who has been diagnosed with NAFLD, a doctor and a nutritionist who specialise in liver health and treating NAFLD.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) develops through accumulation of fat in the liver. A growing body of research shows that people with HIV, particularly if they are overweight, are more likely to develop fatty liver disease. Researchers have found that both HIV-infection itself and combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) can contribute to the development of NAFLD in various ways. Only weight reduction, exercise and a healthy diet are considered to be an effective therapy for all patients with NAFLD.
