Vitamin D Supplementation in Youth with HIV-1 Infection

This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study investigates the efficacy and safety of vitamin D3 supplementation in HIV-infected youth. The study found that monthly supplementation with 50,000 IU of vitamin D3 was safe and effectively increased serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD) concentration, regardless of antiretroviral regimen. These findings suggest that vitamin D supplementation can be a valuable strategy for managing vitamin D deficiency in HIV-infected youth.
