RFI: Traditional medicines and HIV/AIDS
---------------------------------------

I am looking for information on the use of traditional medicines in
Africa. I need answers to the following questions:

1) Why is the use so rampant in Africa?
2) What is the medicine used for - is it being used as anti retrovi-
   rals?
3) What kind of plants do the traditional health providers use?
4) Does the medication work at all?

Any information you can provide me with would be greatly appreciated.

I am looking for a copy on the July 2000 conference on traditional
medicine. If it is possible to send me an attachment to my e-mail, I
would really appreciate it.

Yours sincerely,

Dr Maggie Sekeramayi
