Abstract: Nearly half of the U.S. population uses alternative medicine, and for people with HIV/AIDS, that figure may be up to 70 percent. Because of the potential effects of alternative treatments, physicians need to learn about these medicines and ask patients whether they are using them. One study that is addressed collected data from 1,500 HIV-positive patients using alternative treatments, to determine if alternative medicine combined with conventional medicine has different outcomes than conventional medicine alone.
