Effectiveness of The Provision of Snakehead Fish Nuggets and Colored Fruit Extracts to Blood Protein (Total Protein, Albumin, HB) in PLHIV

The problem of the high prevalence of HIV/ AIDS and its development in the world and in Indonesia is like the iceberg phenomenon. The discovery of HIV / AIDS cases in Dubai reached 1.8 million, of which 940,000 people died of AIDS. Meanwhile, in Indonesia, the discovery of new cases (2016) in Riau Province was around 6,885 cases, Jakarta had 35,947 cases, Papua reached 31,846 cases and North Sumatera had 7,890 cases. This study aims was to determine the effectiveness of the provision of snakehead fish nuggets and colored fruit extracts to blood proteins (total protein, albumin and hemoglobin) in people with HIV (PLHIV). This
type of research was Quasi-Experimental with Pre and Post Test Design. This design allowed researchers to measure the differences in total protein, albumin and Hb in PLHIV before and after the intervention of the provision of snakehead fish nuggets and colored fruit extracts. This research was conducted for 22 days, while the sample selection used total sampling technique. The research location was carried out at Bahagia Social Rehabilitation Center of Medan. The
results showed that there was an effect of the provision of snakehead fish nuggets and colored fruit extracts on total protein (p = 0.036), albumin levels (p = 0.000) and Hb levels (p = 0.001) in PLHIV. The conclusion of this study that there is a change in blood protein (total protein,
albumin, Hb) in PLHIV after being given snakehead fish nuggets and colored fruit extracts.
