This paper reviews the definitions of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) and adopts the definition, "Complementary and alternative medicine is defined through a social process as those practices that do not form part of the dominant system for managing health and disease" (Jonas, 1996, p.1). The authors review the literature on CAM usage in the general and HIV/AIDS populations, and the impact of CAM on modern Western medicine and the allied health professions. Host-virus factors in HIV/AIDS are examined from the perspectives of both Western medicine and complementary and alternative medicine. Methodological issues and the historical argument over the relative importance of host and microbe are explored in relation to HIV/AIDS and the CAM and Western approaches to HIV/AIDS care.
本文回顾了补充与替代医学（CAM）的定义，并采用了如下定义：“补充与替代医学是通过社会过程界定的，指那些不属于管理健康与疾病的主流体系的实践活动”（乔纳斯，1996年，第1页）。作者回顾了关于普通人群以及艾滋病毒/艾滋病患者使用补充与替代医学的文献，以及补充与替代医学对现代西医和相关健康专业的影响。从西医和补充与替代医学的角度审视了艾滋病毒/艾滋病中的宿主-病毒因素。探讨了与艾滋病毒/艾滋病以及补充与替代医学和西医治疗艾滋病毒/艾滋病方法相关的方法学问题以及关于宿主和微生物相对重要性的历史争论。
