Abstract: Despite many differences between Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM) and conventional medicine,the use of TCM in the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus and acquired immune deficiency syndrome(HIV/AIDS) is increasingly recognized and accepted by patients. Recent research findings on the benefits of Chinese herbal medicine on long-term survival in patients with HIV/AIDS are encouraging and hopeful, but inconclusive. More research is needed.
