Summary
Supplementation with vitamin D improves HIV+ macrophages phagocytosis in vitro. There is
evidence to suggest that administering vitamin D can in fact improve immune function in
individuals. The study will evaluate the impact of high dose vitamin D in HIV+ smokers' and
HIV- smokers' in vivo. The primary goal is to improve innate immune host response to
infection in patients already at high risk by virtue of HIV and smoking status.
