First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 16, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looked at whether taking vitamin D3 for 3 months can lower inflammation and boost immune cells in people with HIV who are already on antiretroviral therapy. Twenty adults with early-stage HIV took vitamin D3 supplements. Researchers measured changes in inflammation markers and CD4 counts. The goal was to see if this simple addition could improve overall disease control.
