ABSTRACT
The B vitamins are critical to cellular metabolism and may play an important role in immune function. Therefore, it is plausible that they may be beneficial in terms of slowing the progression of HIV disease or preventing the transmission of HIV infection from mother to child. In addition, there are data to suggest that one specific B vitamin, vitamin B12, may be helpful in improving the neurologic symptoms associated with HIV disease and in preventing AZT-related bone marrow toxicity.
