Abstract

Background The immunomodulatory nutritional product NR100157 was developed for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)–infected individuals. We hypothesized that targeting the compromised gastrointestinal tract of HIV-infected individuals would result in systemic immunological benefits. Methods In a multicenter, randomized, controlled, double-blind trial, 340 HIV-1–positive adults not on antiretroviral therapy, with CD4+ T-cell counts
