Acupuncture in combination with antiretroviral therapies is a potentially useful treatment for HIVrelated symptom relief in resource-poor settings. Traditional Chinese medicine has a long history of being used to enhance immune function. In the setting of HIV, Chinese traditional medicine allows for symptom treatment without adding extra medications to a complex drug regime. This paper provides details of a project at Mae On Hospital in rural northern Thailand where allopathic/conventional treatments are used in tandem with acupuncture. A preliminary evaluation of the project suggests that an integrated approach to symptom relief is viewed positively by respondents receiving acupuncture, though further studies are required to confi rm the association between acupuncture and symptom relief. The project also demonstrates the feasibility of developing a cost-effective acupuncture programme using local healthcare staff. 11_am000299.indd 37 3/11/2010 7:32:46 PM group.bmj.com on April 8, 2017 Published by http://aim.bmj.com/ Downloaded from
