NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Experiments on African women living with HIV have shown that taking daily doses of a certain category of vitamins slows the growth of the virus in their bodies and
reduces their risk of developing the disease by 50 percent.

The results of the test were published in the journal "New England Journal of Medicine" in which the trial authorities require the adoption of vitamin treatment for patients in developing countries, to delay the need for these drugs to treat the disease and be able to use exclusively for patients who are at an advanced stage of the disease.
"The cost of this treatment is low and it will help many people get a better life," according to the professor at the Harvard Institute of Health, Dr. Wafa Fawzi, according to the Associated Press.
But at the same time, he cautioned that HIV-treated drugs could in no way be substituted for these vitamins.
The test took 6 years during which doctors followed the health status of approximately 1,078 women carrying the virus. These women took daily doses of a group of vitamins in addition to vitamin A or this vitamin alone.
The test results showed that the virus grew in just 7 percent of those who followed the system, as well as less problems such as fatigue, diarrhea, mouth ulcers and a lower proportion of the virus in the blood.
According to researchers, eating a combination of vitamins can help strengthen the immune system and weaken the ability of the virus to grow and spread
