OBJECTIVE: To review the current evidence on the role of micronutrient supplementation in HIV transmission and progression. METHOD: Literature review. RESULTS: The importance of micronutrients in the prevention and treatment of childhood infections is well known, and evidence is emerging that micronutrient interventions may also affect HIV transmission and progression. CONCLUSION: Interventions to improve micronutrient intake and status could contribute to a reduction in the magnitude and impact of the global HIV epidemic. However, more research is needed before specific recommendations can be made.
