Abstrakt: This analysis of U.S.-based survey data reports regional differences (Northeast, Midwest, South, and West) in sweetener knowledge, consumption, and body mass index (BMI) among 877 people with HIV (PLWH; median age 54 years). BMI was lowest in the West and highest in the Midwest. Respondents in the West reported greater sweetener knowledge than in the Northeast, Midwest, and South. Respondents from the West reported lower sweetener consumption than the Midwest and South. Regional differences in BMI, sweetener knowledge, and consumption were demonstrated. Findings support consideration of regional differences when providing nutrition education.
