Can Traditional Chinese Medicine Cure AIDS

traditional Chinese medicine cannot cure AIDS, but it can be used as an auxiliary treatment to help alleviate symptoms and improve the quality of life. AIDS is a chronic infectious disease caused by human immunodeficiency virus. At present, there is no radical cure, and it needs lifelong antiviral treatment.

The treatment of AIDS in modern medicine focuses on highly effective antiretroviral therapy, and delays the progress of the disease by inhibiting viral replication. Traditional Chinese medicine has a certain effect in improving patients' immune function and reducing drug side effects. For example, herbs such as Huangqi and Lingzhi may help increase CD4 cell numbers, but cannot eliminate viruses in the body. Some traditional Chinese medicine preparations such as Compound Danshen Dripping Pills and Shenling Baizhu Powder can be used in combination with Western medicine to alleviate symptoms such as diarrhea and fatigue.

AIDS patients should avoid blindly relying on traditional Chinese medicine to replace standard treatment, and unauthorized drug withdrawal may lead to virus resistance. Maintain a balanced diet in daily life, supplement high-quality protein and vitamins appropriately, and avoid raw, cold, and stimulating foods. Regular sleep and moderate exercise can help maintain immunity, while strictly following medical advice to regularly test viral load and immune function indicators. When abnormal symptoms such as fever and weight loss occur, timely medical attention should be sought to adjust the treatment plan.
