The Use of Complementary and Alternative Medicine in the Management of HIV/AIDS
This initiative will stimulate research to elucidate the mechanisms, risks, and benefits of using complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) in the management of HIV/AIDS at institutions with extensive histories of research on HIV/AIDS. NCCAM is especially interested in supporting well-designed studies to identify potential roles for the safe and effective use of CAM in the management of HIV/AIDS and its complications, to ameliorate medication side effects, or improve quality of life. The objectives of this solicitation are to
- identify potential roles for CAM therapies in managing HIV/AIDS and/or its complications:
- prior to initiation of HAART
- in association with HAART
- by ameliorating HAART side effects
- through increasing the quality of life for people with HIV/AIDS
- understand mechanisms of action of CAM interventions that have the potential for contributing to or interfering with standard treatments for HIV/AIDS and related conditions
- stimulate CAM research at leading HIV/AIDS research institutions.
