Traditional Chinese herbal medicine (TCM) has been used in Chinese society for more than 5,000 years to treat diseases from inflammation to cancer. Here, we report the case of nine living AIDS patients in the age range of 51 to 67 who were treated with either a unique formula of TCM alone from 2001 to 2009 or the TCM from 2001 to 2006 and then switched to occasional antiretroviral therapy. Surprisingly, the viral loads of eight patients were at undetectable levels on June 28, 2016, while the remaining patient had a low viral load of 29 copies/ml. The CD4 counts (170-592 cells/μl) and CD4/CD8 ratios (0.21-0.90) of the nine patients are excellent, contributing to their current good health. Thus, the case study suggests that the TCM has the potential to become a functional cure for HIV/AIDS.
中药在中国社会已被用于治疗从炎症到癌症等各种疾病达5000多年。在此，我们报告9例年龄在51至67岁之间的在世艾滋病患者的病例，这些患者在2001年至2009年期间单独接受了一种独特的中药配方治疗，或者在2001年至2006年期间接受了中药治疗，然后转为偶尔接受抗逆转录病毒治疗。令人惊讶的是，在2016年6月28日，8名患者的病毒载量处于检测不到的水平，而其余1名患者的病毒载量较低，为29拷贝/毫升。这9名患者的CD4细胞计数（170 - 592个/微升）和CD4/CD8比值（0.21 - 0.90）都很理想，这有助于他们目前保持良好的健康状态。因此，该病例研究表明，中药有可能成为治愈艾滋病毒/艾滋病的有效方法。
