Abstract

Based on the preliminary research showing that Bromelain Enzyme as a protease enzyme in pineapple juice can increase the amount of CD4+ in HIV/AIDS patients by destroying the HIV, and with the support from university through a CRF program, this research was conducted in a closed community area in LAPAS, Paledang Bogor. 13 HIV/AIDS patients were given pineapple juice for 10-12 weeks. The parameters that were being measured including the whole blood haematology, analysis of kidney function and urine test together with the CD4+ and Viral Load amount was being checked. Before the treatment program all the initial result was recorded and then being compared with the result after 10-12 weeks. After 5 weeks, number of CD4+ in 4 of the patients shows significant increased, but others show a decreasing amount of CD4+. After 10 weeks, 5 of the patients have increased number of CD4+. The varieties results shown may be caused by the CD4+ need around 3 months or longer like a normal cell to regenerate. Moreover, morphology changes can be observed in the virus that has been treated with pure Bromelain enzyme by using electron microscope.
