| dc.description.abstract | Abstract
This study is about traditional healers who claim to have cure and treatments for HIV/AIDS, in Zimbabwe. Three traditional
healers were interviewed. The healers talked about how they became traditional healers, why they specialize in treating
HIV/AIDS and what they use to treat the syndrome. Two medical doctors were interviewed. One was skeptical of traditional
healers who claim to have AIDS cures and treatments. This doctor felt such healers were unethical and had nothing to offer. The
other doctor was supportive of traditional healers and was involved with clinical trials to test the healers' treatments.
Finally 5 HIV/AIDS patients of healers were interviewed. These patients told of their experiences with healers and claimed that
their health had improved. | en_ZW |
