Clinical trial studies about vitamin D supplementation on HIV-infected patients which receiving ART were selected. Quality assessment of studies was conducted by Jadad criteria. CD4 count and viral load before and after intervention in treatment and placebo groups, age of patients and duration of intervention were extracted. Fiundings: Finally, 7 clinical trial studies with a sample size of 639 people were entered the meta-analysis. The mean age of patients in the treatment group and placebo was 27.2 and 26.5 years respectively, and mean duration of intervention was 8.3 months. The increase in CD4 after treatment was 0.73 (CI95%:-0.43 - 1.89) compared with the placebo group which was not statistically significant, but Vitamin D use in 3 studies was near one year and this change (SMD=3.56, CI95%: 1.17-5.96) was significantly in these studies. Egger's test results showed that there was no publication bias.
