I practice in Erie, PA. We are significantly deficient in sunny days.
As a result, a large percentage of my patients are deficient in Vitamin D.
I check levels routinely on my patients. If less than 20, I provide Vitamin D3, 1000 units daily.
If less than 10, I provide 8 weeks of Vitamin D2, 50,000 units 1 tab weekly, then follow with vitamin D3 1000 units daily afterwards.
Some of my patients who had vitamin D-OH levels less than 10, did feel an improvement in fatigue when they were replenished.

Subject: Vitamin D screening?
Hello everyone,
Do you routinely screen all HIV patients for vitamin D deficiency or only those with specific risk factors?
Thank you all for your input! :)
