Brief Summary: In this study HIV-infected patients with poor recovery of CD4 T cells and successful viral control after treatment with antiretroviral therapy will be enrolled to receive once a day Lactobcillus casei Shirota or placebo in a double-blind randomized fashion Immune parameters will be monitored for 12 weeks in both arms

The main outcome is CD4 T cell recovery Secondary outcomes will include NK cells and T cells immune parameters
Detailed Description: In this study HIV-infected patients with poor recovery of CD4 T cells and successful viral control after treatment with antiretroviral therapy will be enrolled to receive once a day Lactobcillus casei Shirota or placebo in a double-blind randomized fashion

The main objective is to investigate whether the continuous once a day 12-weeks use of Yakult product containing Lactobacillus casei Shirota could affect immunological parameters in HIV-infected patients on suppressive antiretroviral treatment with poor CD4 T cell recovery A total of 48 volunteers will be followed for 12 week after initiation of daily use of Lactobcillus casei Shirota or placebo randomized in a 11 ratio

We hypothesize that use of the Yakult product containing Lactobacillus casei Shirota after 12 weeks of continuous use will increase the level of CD4 T-cells at least 50 cellsmm³

We also propose to investigate several markers of immune response including T cellular activation and NK cells function and changes in the intestinal microbiota
