CRD COMMENTARY: This is a systematic review providing useful background information about the use of complementary medicine by HIV-infected and AIDS patients. However, no controlled studies were included in the review and only one study used potentially objective measures of effectiveness. Searches of other computerised databases may have identified more studies. The lack of detail of the review processes used by the author prevents a proper assessment of the quality of this review.
