Can leeches cure aids?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unfortunately no. : At the current time, there is no cure for the HIV virus that causes aids. While the antiviral medications are improving the quality of life of people infected with aids and a vaccine may be in the future, it is best to prevent HIV infection by avoiding high risk behaviors and HIV exposures. Leeches may still have a role (although very limited) in modern medicine, but not for aids.
