    The replication of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) may be modulated in part by host factors such as DNA methylation. Hypermethylation of the HIV provirus may suppress viral replication and play a role in the establishment of latency. HIV seropositive individuals have decreased levels of metabolites involved in methylation. It is proposed that metabolites such as S-adenosylmethionine (SAM), methylcobalamin and methyltetrahydrofolate be explored as potential therapeutic agents in HIV infected individuals.
