Abstract
Those living with human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immune deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) may experience chronic inflammation that may affect quality of life. Although no definitive research has been performed, many studies have suggested that micronutrients such as sulfur amino acids, vitamin E, selenium, and omega-3 fatty acids in combination with an adequately nutritious diet may help reduce inflammation.
