Thanks for the invitation! I am a specialist doctor specializing in the treatment of AIDS, AIDS as a newly developed disease in recent decades, rapid progress, high mortality rate is also contagious, bringing a huge burden to the family and society, and the development of medical science today, the treatment of AIDS, there are many advances in the treatment of AIDS, although AIDS can not yet be cured, but it can be controlled the development of the disease, the patient's conditions of survival have also been improved. And Chinese medicine as China's national treasure, in the research and treatment of AIDS has also been continuing, many experienced Chinese medicine while groping and exploring the treatment of AIDS, although it can not cure AIDS, but with Western medicine, in the modulation of a certain contribution.

In Chinese medicine textbooks, it is clear that many medicines have a role to play in AIDS. In terms of experimental research on single herbs, scholars have screened 500 herbs and found that more than 70 of them have anti-HIV activity, such as Sang Bai Pi, Comfrey, Leaky Glove, Croton, Betel nut, Brambleberry, Zingiber officinale, pollen, Glycyrrhiza Uralensis, Astragalus, Tiger Balm, Scutellaria baicalensis, and so on. Although there is no substantial evidence-based scientific basis, there are still very effective in clinical practice, such as toning, stopping sweating, tonic and so on, and I believe that the relevant research will always continue and Chinese medicine will bring its light into play in any era.

Well, I hope that helps!
