Abstract
HIV is spread by numerous agents and routes. Viruses cause minor to severe diseases in humans and animals. Some infections can be treated with existing drugs, while others require new ones. Unfortunately, there are no cures for HIV, but quality of life increases symptom alleviation and life expectancy. Antiretroviral treatment (ART) is available to control this infection, although negative effects increase with dose. These negative effects can be reduced, and nutritional supplements can boost immunity to combat viruses. HIV destroys immunological cells like WBC. Each obstacle is unique. This lowered patients' immunity, leading to further infections. Low immunity causes opportunistic illnesses. As noted, there is no proper therapy or cure for AIDS; however ART medicines can treat it. Researchers have lately shed light on the nutraceuticals used in AIDS patients. They may improve quality of life and life expectancy. Multivitamin therapy before ART improves clinical results and enhances immunity to fight HIV and other opportunistic infections, according to a report. This review focuses on HIV patients' multivitamin-boosted immunity. We'll also look at how these supplements increase patients' immunity and associated data.
