China's traditional Chinese medicine to 

        In our country since the first case of HIV/AIDS (HIV) was discovered in 1985 patients, according to the ministry of health statistics, by the end of 2011, China has reported HIV infected people and patients about 780000 people. About 154000 people, including patients died, 88000; New found infected with about 48000 people in 2011, for about 28000 deaths linked to AIDS. 
 
        Gansu province in the first case of HIV/AIDS patients was found in 1993, by the end of December 2013, the province has reported HIV/AIDS patients (1835 HIV/AIDS) and distributed in the city of the province's 14 (state) of the 83 counties (area); Among them 1120 cases of HIV, AIDS patients 715 cases, reported 356 cases of death. Gansu province is low in incidence of HIV/AIDS, however, the AIDS epidemic in local area is still on the rise, some patients have entered the peak of morbidity and mortality. So, it is very urgent to increase and expand the approaches of the treatment of HIV/AIDS. 
 
        Treatment, creating new road of Chinese medicine 
 
        Antiviral drugs are one of the most principal means for the treatment of HIV/AIDS, played a large role in the clinical treatment, and the goal of treatment for patients in the treatment of 3 year survival rate is more than 50%. At present, the highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) of western medicine, with a strong antiviral effect, bring hope to patients; But the virus can't completely clear, easy to rebound, the antiviral drug side effect, has very obvious adverse reaction, expensive and prone to resistance, immune reconstruction is limited, and the patient's condition is high. 
 
        And Chinese medicine treatment of AIDS is mainly to improve patient's immunity, improve the clinical symptoms and signs, improve the quality of survival, reduce HAART side effects, etc., cannot be independent of traditional Chinese medicine treatment of AIDS, only as an auxiliary treatment. 
 
        Therefore, gansu province to carry out the new treatment of AIDS patients and infected people work, the purpose is to expand treatment, broaden the treatments, more new ways of treatment for HIV/AIDS patients. 
 
        In 2005 in tianshui, gansu province began to traditional Chinese medicine treatment of HIV/AIDS, because at that time, most of the patients in onset period, generally poor health, some of the disease is severe, and antiviral drugs is shortage, pressing for treatment, in order to meet the needs of patients, overcome various difficulties, self-raised funds free treatment for patients, after a period of hard work, found that obtained satisfactory therapeutic effect, this is to confirm our confidence and determination to further explore Chinese medicine treatment. 
 
        On May 28, 2008, the state administration of traditional Chinese medicine to tianshui in traditional Chinese medicine treatment of AIDS pilot project areas. Since 2008, allocated 280000 yuan a year as a traditional Chinese medicine treatment of HIV/AIDS funding support. At the same time, the health department in 2008 in tianshui, gansu province center for disease control and prevention AIDS method and scheme of traditional Chinese medicine research to declare project, 100000 yuan of major project funding support. Tianshui AIDS gradually towards the national treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, also lay the foundations for the gansu province to expand the Chinese medicine treatment of AIDS pilot.

        At the start of the gansu province traditional Chinese medicine treatment of HIV/AIDS, to determine the treatment goal is a new kind of hiv-infected people and AIDS patients (HIV/AIDS), the main observation of traditional Chinese medicine treatment of AIDS patients CD4 + T lymphocyte count and viral load, the influence of the impact on the clinical syndrome, etc. Explore the method of pure traditional Chinese medicine treatment of AIDS, effect and patient management, follow-up, referral system, high starting point, the more difficult, the risk is big. Because HIV/AIDS patients with new treatment and research in the country is relatively small, national policy for the treatment of HIV/AIDS is mainly antiviral, TCM is complementary, combine traditional Chinese and western medicine treatment pattern, therefore, the work has met a lot of difficulties and problems. 
 
        But gansu province traditional Chinese medicine treatment of AIDS has unique advantages, leading to big, high technical staff enthusiasm and confidence. 
 
        First, grasp the first-hand information as the prerequisite, go deep into the patients, talking face to face, zero distance contact, a comprehensive understanding of new kind of treatment of patients with trust, recognition and participation; Care about each patient all kinds of clinical symptoms, signs and coating on the tongue and pulse condition.

Sort out management mechanism, to formulate plans and measures, by to hear different voices, to all aspects of professional and technical personnel to understand the feasibility of pure traditional Chinese medicine treatment of AIDS; Successively to some colleges and universities, hospitals, and at the grass-roots level, professional and technical personnel to be engaged in HIV treatment management consult the experience of traditional Chinese medicine treatment of AIDS, traditional Chinese medicine treatment of AIDS has influence to the nation's brother unit study and draw lessons from advanced experience, summarize and absorb various proposals and Suggestions, strive to make pure traditional Chinese medicine treatment of AIDS of the French medicine conforms to the actual. 
 
        Again, after the start of treatment to each patient introduction of traditional Chinese medicine treatment of advantages and disadvantages, maximum limit for patients to accept and support traditional Chinese medicine treatment. As a result of our pure traditional Chinese medicine treatment of the leadership, colleagues, and the patient received strong support and cooperation, and work goes well, for better implementation of traditional Chinese medicine treatment of AIDS has created a good condition, basically achieved new progress goal of treatment.

        Risk-taking advance work 
 
        On March 12, 2011, launched the gansu province to expand HIV treatment project work, work just great difficulties from the start. Because bear most of the work unit does not support new treatment of AIDS, fear of the new treatment of AIDS risk; And the national HIV/AIDS patients treated without new precedent, there is no policy support, out of the question who will be responsible for? In the face of such confusion, some staff involved in the treatment of the treatment team out, and at that time the whole work. 
 
        Health department main leadership (traditional Chinese medicine treatment of AIDS leadership team leader) in reaction to the phenomenon, in some of the city state and units to supervise and carry out the traditional Chinese medicine treatment of HIV/AIDS, make the work started quickly, difficulties and problems encountered in the process of work are given in a timely manner to solve.
