The experiments were performed with cells. The results showed that continuous presence of vitamin C was necessary for HIV suppression. Furthermore, NAC conferred a synergistic effect when tested simultaneously with vitamin C. These results supported the potent effect of vitamin C and suggested its therapeutic value in controlling HIV infection.
