Complementary and Alternative Therapies

Do you use complementary and alternative therapies? Many persons living with HIV use complementary and alternative therapies to manage the disease as well as some of the side effects associated with HIV medications. Unfortunately, physicians aren’t always knowledgeable on such therapies and may not even be supportive of them. They say such therapies are not supported by typical medical testing. What have been your experiences with complementary and alternative therapies? What do you use that helps you? For your information, the BCPWA Treatment Information Program will have a 6-week workshop series on complementary and alternative therapies each Thursday evening in November + on December 1st - at the BCPWA lounge (starting @ 6pm). This is open to anyone wanting to learn more about complementary and alternative therapies. Some interesting people will be presenting. You might want to come... so hope to see you there!
