Background: It was documented by the World Health Organization that the use of herbal medicines for treatment of illnesses is common. Human immunodeficiency (HIV) infection is a chronic illness which catalyses the interest of infected patient to source for herbal therapy.
Aim: This review aimed at reporting efficacy and safety of herbal medicines used for treatment of HIV infection. The search engine of herbal medicine, products, medicinal plants, alternative therapy, complementary therapy used for HIV infection in Pub med, Science direct, Google scholar and Scopus were used.
Result: The widely reported availability and potency of products, belief and culture of people are useful aids to herbal medicine practice. Some of these documented potent herbal medicines were used as complementary therapy especially for the symptoms and signs associated with HIV infection. With advent of free and accessible highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) there are some documented beneficial or deleterious effects when some herbal medicines are used as complementary therapy. Some documented herbs have been identified to be effective against the dreadful organism, HIV and may be used as complementary or alternative therapy
Conclusion: This review show that many herbal medicines have potential for treatment of HIV infections however, documented efficacy and safety especially with possible drug interactions with orthodox drugs need further exploration.
Keywords: Herbal medicines; chronic illness; safety; efficacy; drug interaction
Résumé
Contexte: Il a été documenté par l’Organisation Mondiale de la Santé que l’utilisation de plantes médicinales pour le traitement des maladies est courante. L’infection immunodéficience humaine (VIH) est une maladie chronique qui catalyse l’intérêt du patient infecté à se procurer de phytothérapie.
Objectif : Cette revue visait à signaler l’efficacité et l’innocuité des plantes médicinales utilisées pour le traitement de l’infection par le VIH. L’engin de recherche de la phytothérapie, des produits, des plantes médicinales, des thérapies alternatives, des thérapies complémentaires utilisées pour l’infection à VIH dans Pub med, Science direct, Google scholar et Scopus ont été utilisés.
Résultat: La grande disponibilité et la puissance des produits, la croyance et la culture des gens sont des aides utiles à la pratique de la phytothérapie. Certains de ces médicaments à base de plantes puissants documentés ont été utilisés comme thérapie complémentaire, en particulier pour les symptômes et les signes associés à l’infection par le VIH. Avec l’avènement de la thérapie antirétrovirale hautement active gratuite et accessible (HAART), il existe des effets bénéfiques ou délétères documentés lorsque certains médicaments à base de plantes sont utilisés comme thérapie complémentaire. Certaines herbes documentées ont été identifiées comme étant efficaces contre l’horrible organisme, VIH et peuvent être utilisées comme thérapie complémentaire ou
alternative
Conclusion : Cette revue montre que de nombreux médicaments à base de plantes ont un potentiel pour le traitement des infections VIH, cependant, l’efficacité et l’innocuité documentées, en particulier avec les interactions médicamenteuses possibles avec les médicaments orthodoxes, nécessitent une exploration plus approfondie.
