Honey stimulates B and T lymphocytes proliferation cell cultures and is an old medicine in Middle East. CD4 has an important role in progression of HIV/ AIDS. The aim of this study was assessment of the natural honey on CD4 count in a 30 year-Old Iranian HIV positive man. In this study he treated with 80g natural honey every day for three months. The CD4 counted in day 0 and 30 days after consumption of honey. Results revealed that honey elevated CD4, CD8, platelet, lymphocyte, Neutrophil, RBC and WBC counts and hemoglobuline level in HIV positive patient. Also CD25 was decreased after consumption of honey. It seems that natural raw honey may improve the immune system function in HIV positive patients.
