Selenium is a mineral that has been in the news over the last year for its apparent beneficial results in HIV positive people. Selenium is an essential micronutrient; its dietary sources are nuts, cereals, meat, fish and eggs. Selenium deficiency is apparent in HIV disease, and predicts an increased risk of death. Current studies are finding promising results from selenium supplementation, and it should be considered as part of your supplementation program.
Daily supplementation with 200μg (mcg) of selenium has been shown to help stabilize viral load, and modestly increase CD4 counts in patients on antiretroviral therapy. These findings suggest selenium supplementation as a simple and inexpensive complimentary therapy for people with HIV. 1000μg is the upper tolerance, and selenium becomes toxic above this daily level.
Have you been taking selenium as part of your supplementation? We would love to hear what your experiences are.

Agree !!, that,s true
I've been eating four organic Brazil nuts daily for 3 months.
I grate them onto cereal, porridge, smoothies, yoghurt etc.
Around the 2nd moth I began to notice an improvement in my complextion, followed by less hair falling out from my head. At month 3 and a half, my hair is noticeably thicker and my CD4 count has increased from a stubborn 300 for the past 7 years to 480.
My daily protocol has remained the same other than adding the organic grated Brazil nuts.
Best of health, Simon
