A group of 874 HIV patients were randomly selected and given B vitamins, vitamin C and E, plus selenium. It was later discovered that these people who were at their early stage of HIV/AIDS showed a positive result after the supplements boosted their CD4 cells.

It boosted their immune system. 

"In ART-naive HIV-infected adults, 24-month supplementation with a single supplement containing multivitamins and selenium was safe and significantly reduced the risk of immune decline and morbidity," said the research team, led by Marianna Baum from Florida International University. 

"Micronutrient supplementation may be effective when started in the early stages of HIV disease." the team added. 

Having the aforementioned supplements is a way of warding off the disease as noted by the team. 

"This evidence supports the use of specific micronutrient supplementation as an effective intervention in HIV-infected adults in early stages of HIV disease, significantly reducing the risk for disease progression in asymptomatic, ART-naive, HIV-infected adults."
