Main Article Content
Abstract
Selenium is an essential trace element that plays a key role in the human immune system. People living with HIV (PLHIV) are a risk group of people who suffer from opportunistic infection due to their immune function impairment. Hence, encouraging adequate selenium intake among PLHIV is one of the key factors to promote their health status. This article aims to present the importance of selenium, sources of selenium, and the importance of selenium for the health status of PLHIV, as well as, the effects of selenium supplementation for PLHIV in various groups on their health. The results from previous studies and pieces of literature have been searched and found in a confidential and acceptable database. In conclusion, selenium is a crucial element required by the PLHIV. However, future studies are needed to investigate the appropriate amount of daily selenium supplementation for PLHIV in Thailand.
