Impact of an analytical treatment interruption on partners and family members of trial participants in Durban, South Africa
Background: HIV cure-related research often include analytical treatment interruptions (ATIs), which are monitored pauses in antiretroviral therapy (ART) to determine whether interventions can stimulate viral control without ART. While ATIs have been conducted in high-income countries, scale-up in low-income HIV high-burden countries in sub-Saharan Africa raise unique ethical, social, and practical challenges. HIV cure-related trials focus on par…
Best practice programme in the standardisation of traditional medicines
Background: Regulation and standardization of African traditional medicines (ATM) prescribed by traditional healers in South Africa is still far from being implemented. This is despite the fact that more people are using ATM products than ever. In an effort to demonstrate that collaboration with traditional health practitioners (THPs) can yield standardized TM products, this study aimed to evaluate the immunomodulatory effects of an herbal immune…
Recommendations for the Development of Regulatory Guidelines for Registration of Traditional Medicines in South Africa
The regulation and registration of traditional medicines (TM) continues to present challenges to many countries regardless of the fact that an increased number of the population utilises TM for their health care needs. There have been improvements in the legal and policy framework of South Africa based on the WHO guidelines. However, there are currently no guidelines or framework for the registration of TM in South Africa. This article reviews li…
Effects of Sutherlandia frutescens Extracts on Normal T-Lymphocytes In Vitro
Sutherlandia frutescens (SF), a popular traditional medicinal plant found in various parts of southern Africa, is used for treatment or management of HIV/AIDS and other diseases including cancer. However, its toxicity profile has not been fully established. The aims of this study were to examine the effects of 70% ethanol (SFE) and deionised water (SFW) extracts on normal isolated human T cells. An experimental study on normal human lymphocytes t…
