Multivitamins Help Fight HIV Infection Developments

The most efficient way to inhibit the progression of HIV infection is the use of anti -retroviral drugs ( ARVs ) . Even so , a study from Africa indicate , the consumption of multivitamins and supplements of selenium also has a good ability to reduce the risk in those who had not undergone antiretroviral treatment .According to the study , multivitamins and selenium may have an effect on people living with HIV ( PLHIV ) for two years . It remains unclear whether these effects could occur in a longer period .It is also related to the study participants were limited to PLHIV in Africa who have not received antiretroviral treatment . Meanwhile , in developed countries like the United States , once a person is diagnosed HIV positive , antiretroviral treatment was started immediately .Dr. Jared Baeten , professor of global health at the University of Washington USA said , these findings are very useful as a new strategy of delaying the progression of HIV . Because not all people diagnosed HIV- positive , or would soon be able to start ARV treatment .
