Question

I’m on treatment, what supplements should take?

I’m HIV positive and i’m on ARVs. I want to know what other supplements should i take to boost my immune system?

Answer

Hi,

It is great that you are taking treatment. This will control your HIV and help your immune system work properly.

Unless you doctor has specifically said you have a vitamin deficiency you do not really need to take supplements. HIV medication is the only thing that controls HIV effectively. If you do decide to take some supplements you should be careful in case they interact with your HIV meds and stop them working properly. You can ask your clinic or a pharmacist about this.
