can make a home remedy if you haven't got any over the counter products. This remedy is used by the aid workers in poor countries. Make rice but use twice the amount of water needed. Drain off the excess water, add a little salt and a little sugar the the rice water and cool it. You can take a couple of tablespoons every hour till it gets under control. The sugar and salt are to help balance your electrolytes. Hope this works for you.

Myth & Reality of HIV AIDS (Myth is nothing but perception)\n\nMYTH: HIV or AIDS can be cured.\n\nREALITY: To date, there is no cure for HIV or AIDS and there are no vaccines to prevent HIV infection.\n\nMYTH: HIV/AIDS is a gay disease.\n\nREALITY: Anyone is susceptible to HIV/AIDS, regardless of their sexual orientation. Everyone is potentially at risk of getting HIV if they share needles or practice unsafe sex. Worldwide, HIV is spread most often through heterosexual contact.\n\nMYTH: You can get HIV from breathing the air around an HIV-infected person or from hugging or holding hands with an HIV-infected person.\n\nREALITY: HIV cannot be transmitted through:\n• toilet seats or door-knob handles\n• touching, hugging, holding hands, or cheek kissing with an HIV-infected person.\n• sharing eating utensils with an HIV-infected person.\n• mosquito bites.\nHIV is transmitted through contact with an HIV-positive person’s infected body fluids, such as semen, pre-ejaculate fluid, vaginal fluids, blood, or breast milk. HIV can also be transmitted through needles used for injecting drugs, tattooing or body piercing.\n\nMYTH: I can get HIV by sharing exercise equipment or playing sports with an HIV-positive person.\n\nREALITY: Contact with sweat or tears has never been shown to result in transmission of HIV.\n\nMYTH: You can get HIV by kissing an HIV-infected person.\n\nREALITY: Casual contact through closed-mouth or “social” kissing is not a risk for transmission of HIV. There is a theoretical potential for contact with blood during “French” kissing or open-mouthed kissing, but no cases have been attributed to any kind of kissing.\n\nMYTH: You cannot get HIV if you are using birth control methods like diaphragms, cervical caps, sponges, spermicides, DepoProvera, Norplant, or the Pill.\n\nREALITY: These birth control methods do not prevent the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases (STD) such as HIV. They only aim to prevent pregnancy. The surest way to prevent both pregnancy and an STD infections is through abstinence. One way people who are sexually active may prevent pregnancy and STD infection is to use a condom in combination with another form of birth control, such as a diaphragm, cervical cap, sponge, spermicide, DepoProvera, Norplant, or the Pill. Birth control products containing the spermicide nonoxynol-9 (found in most contraceptive creams, gels, suppositories, foams, films and sponges) help to prevent pregnancy but may increase the risk of HIV.\n\nMYTH: I can’t have more than one sexually transmitted disease (STD) at a time.\n\nREALITY: A person can be infected with more than one STD. A person with an untreated STD may also be 6-10 times more likely to pass on or acquire HIV during sex. Risk for infection increases 10 to 300-fold in the presence of a genital ulcer, such as occurs in syphilis or genital herpes.\n\nMYTH: There is so such thing as safer sex.\n\nREALITY: Safer sex is sexual activity without penetration, or sex with a latex condom or a latex barrier (in the case of oral sex). Although safer sex can substantially reduce the sexual transmission of an STD like HIV, sexual abstinence is the surest way to prevent the sexual transmission of an STD, including HIV.\n\nMYTH: Since I only have oral sex, I’m not at risk for HIV/AIDS.\n\nREALITY: While oral sex is of lower risk than other forms of sex, you can get HIV by having oral sex with a man or a woman. It is important to use a latex barrier during oral, vaginal, or anal sex.\n\nMYTH: I would know if a loved one or I had HIV.\n\nREALITY: A person with HIV may not show any symptoms for many years. Since HIV affects each person differently, many people with HIV can look and feel healthy for years. The only sure way to know is to get tested.\n\nMYTH: Getting tested for HIV is pointless.\n\nREALITY: Knowing if you are HIV-positive will allow you to seek early treatment that can help you stay healthy longer and enable you not to pass on the vir

Naturopathic doctors have been treating HIV with natural compounds for years the only reason you don't hear more about them is that they are suppressed by the FDA who are in cahoots with the big drug companies only because they can't \npatent a natural substance. Look at colloidal silver, olive leaf concentrate and grapefruit seed extract online and decide for yourself.

Don't know how urine therapy is going to help the trasnmission of HIV/AIDS. Boosting the immune system is great but aids is a highly specific virus that attacks T-cells and macrophages. Often times the fetus is taken as a forgeign entity and attacked by the mother's own body. By these very same leukocytes. I don't know how likely it is but I would assume the chance is very high for transmission to occur. We can't even cure AIds at this stage in time. How could we isolate the disease in one area of our body and keep it from others. It's not entirely feasible.

It won't cure you of the HIV infectin, or reduce your viral load, or the oucome of the disease, but a banana is certainly good for lifting your energy level if you are feeling down due to antiviral side-effects or AIDS symptoims.  Here's a list of all the benefits of having a banana:\n\nBanana as energy booster\n \nIf you want a quick fix for flagging energy levels there's no better snack than a banana. Containing three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose - combined with fiber, a banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy.\nResearch has proved that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes.\nBut energy isn't the only way a banana can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions making it a must to add to your daily diet.\nAnemia: High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia.\nBlood Pressure: This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it the perfect to beat blood pressure. This  fruit has ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.\nBrain Power: Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.\nConstipation: High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.\nDepression: According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain trypotophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier.\nHangovers: One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system.\nHeart-burn: Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body so if you suffer from heart-burn, try eating a banana for soothing relief.\nMorning Sickness: Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness.\nMosquito bites: Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation.\nNerves: Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system. Overweight and at work?\nPMS: Forget the pills eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.\nSo you see a banana really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare it to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice the carbohydrate, three times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals. It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around. So maybe its time to change that well-know phrase so that we say, "A Banana a day keeps the doctor away!"

There are no medical references to this treatment.\nUsualy the condition is treated with antibiotics, though there has been some success with herbal remedies.\nIf you are determined to avoid expert medical treatment I suggest you ask your doctor to refer you to a qualified medical herbal practitioner.

St. John's Wort is the only herbal remedy.  But I recommend exercise.  It seems like work, but it will make you feel better than pretty much anything!

This is an interesting question. You cannot "treat" HIV with natural products but you can use alternative medicine to complement traditional treatment. I've done a lot of work with HIV patients and this approach seemed to provide the best outcome. In my practice, we use a lot of accupuncture, nutritional intervention, bio-feedback and counseling in addition to modern medicine. Our patients do very well. As for when to start the drugs, that's still a debate. You need to sit down with your health care provider to discuss this (prefably with an HIV specialist). Let me know if you have any more questions...Priscilla
