TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) has much to offer in this area. In fact, TCM does not view it as an isolated system. In treating your immune system you are also effecting other systems as well. It has a vaster scope and methodology for dealing with the entire person, and not just one isolated symptom. Diet, lifestyle, emotional therapy, movement therapies, herbs, and massage are also included in the treatment plan.
Here is a link to an article I found which was very informative. It expands on the use of acupuncture with two individuals, Charles and Andre, and tells their stories of how acupuncture has assisted them upon their diagnosis of HIV. http://www.acufinder.com/Acupuncture+Information/Detail/Acupuncture+and+HIV+The+

thanks for the link. i asked my friend who volunteers at the free clinic, when they suggest drug therapy start. they no longer suggest immediate drug therapy, but wait until the T-cells drop, etc. i'll have to ask her if they recommend acupuncture. if not, i'll let her know!
