Optimal vitamin D (vit D) concentration and metabolism are essential for normal immune
function, growth, muscle, bone, and inflammatory status in children, adolescents and adults
with HIV/AIDS. The impact of vit D supplementation will be evaluated for safety and efficacy
using clinically important outcomes, and this will overcome the critical barrier for use of
vit D supplementation in research and clinical care. Inexpensive and easy to administer, vit
D supplementation may prove to be an effective and feasible treatment for symptoms and
prevention of side effects for people of all ages living with HIV/AIDS in the US and around
the world.
