Abstract: Objective: We identified clinical, dietary, and socioeconomic factors associated with insufficient gestational weight gain among Mexican pregnant women with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study involving 112 pregnant women with HIV infection receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART). Data including viral load, complete blood analysis, and CD4 counts were extracted from medical records. An inquiry form was used to collect data on socioeconomic status and frequency of food intake. Pre-gestational weight was calculated based on pregnancy weight to obtain the body mass index (BMI) and weight gain for gestational age according the US Institute of Medicine. Of the study population, 68.7% were in consensual union, 31.3% were single, and 33.9% belonged to the two lowest socioeconomic strata. The median age and CD4 count were 27 (interquartile range [IQR]: 23–32) years and 418 (IQR: 267–591), respectively. The adequacy of energy was 91.8% (IQR: 74.1–117.7). The median energy intake from protein was 13.5% (IQR: 12.2–14.9) and from lipids, 35.5% (IQR: 31.1–40.3). Pregnant women with gastrointestinal symptoms and CD4 count
