Management of HIV/AIDS Opportunistic Infections by Using Medicinal Plants: A Case Study from Njeru Sub-County, Buikwe District, Uganda | Chapter 9 | Current Progress in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 6

 This stage focused on proof of the plants used in the administration of HIV/AIDS opportunistic infections before they are missing through degradation of their residence and death of the aging people the one have the knowledge about ruling class and also their influence in the management of the opportunistic afflictions was assessed. Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)/Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is a big cause of premature death and imposes a big disease burden about the world. Most HIV/AIDS cases are at risk for expanding bacterial and fungal opportunistic infections on account of immune abolition. However, there is lacking evidence to support the growing use of curative plants as an additional and alternative healing approach to combat HIV/AIDS opportunistic contaminations. The study was conducted in the Njeru sub-division, Buikwe District. The study focused on the exercise of medicinal plants secondhand in the management of HIV/AIDS sophisticated infections. A total of 52 curative plant species owned by forty-nine (49) genera and thirty-individual (31) families were recognized to be secondhand by traditional curative practitioners (TMPs) in the administration of HIV/AIDS opportunistic contaminations. Most of these plants were found to belong to the kins; Lamiaceae, Moraceae, Leguminosae, and Verbenaceae. Most of the plant species labeled were known to survive skin infections, never-ending cough, tuberculosis, stomach contaminations, diarrhea, syphilis zoster, and Warts. Although the herbs were used to treat a variety of illnesses, warts, disease communicable through sex zoster, chronic cough, stomach contaminations, and chronic cough were ultimate frequently stated. Traditional medical experts (TMPs) primarily drain decoctions as a method of application.
