Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

HIV infection causes systemic zinc deficiency and oxidative stress that impairs host immunity in the alveolar space.The purpose of this study is to see if taking two nutritional supplements, zinc and SAMe (S-adenosylmethionine), can improve lung health and immune function in persons with HIV. The investigators hypothesize that long-term dietary supplementation with zinc and the glutathione precursor SAMe will enhance pulmonary host immune function in HIV-infected individuals who do not respond adequately to ART alone.
