This study was observational and analyticalcohort design retrospective design using secondary data from the medical records of patients with HIV/AIDS. The sample wasHIV/AIDS patients who aged over 18 year-old getting therapy since 2010 and regularly check their CD4 count every six months for18 months with 4 times the observations. The sample size was 38 patients HIV/AIDS by using total sampling. Data collectionincludes patient characteristics, height, weight, CD4 count. The CD4 cell count was the result of laboratory Inspection, nutritionalstatus measured by BMI method. The results in this study there was no correlation between changes in nutritional status withchanges in CD4 cell count after 6 months, 12 months and 18 months after treatment. The conclusion of this study is no correlationbetween changes in nutritional status with changes in CD4 cell count after month 6, 12and 18months of therapy. Need to provideinformation and counseling to patients to check their CD4 regular basis in order to be evaluated by a medical team and furtherresearch using primary data.(FMI 2013;49:155-162)
