Abstract

Introduction. Vitamin D plays a role in health overall, but hypovitaminosis D still occurs throughout the world. HIV/AIDS patients are prone to suffer from hypovitaminosis D because of the infection itself and the side effects of antiretroviral therapy. Various effort have been tried to improve the immune status of HIV/AIDS patients, one of them is by adding vitamin D. Vitamin D acts as an antiinflammatory so that it can prevent apoptosis of CD4 T cells and increase CD4 cell count.
