In these embodiments, T4 enhancing amounts of beta-carotene are administered. Methods are also provided for lowering or maintaining the levels of neopterin and/or 2-microglobulin in humans having elevated levels of these indices and particularly in those infected with HIV. Beta-carotene is administered, respectively, in neopterin and 2-microglobulin therapeutically effective amounts.

An HIV infection preventing or an anti-HIV therapeutically effective amount of beta-carotene is administered. In another embodiment, methods are provided for preventing or treating AIDS in humans.
