No, not at this time: There are no homeopathic cures nor traditional medical cures for hiv, although there is research in looking at both methods to find a cure.

Gaining on it: Homeopathy is known to help many systemic illnesses which conventional medicine has not yet cured. Conventional treatments have dramatically improved both lifespan and quality of life for people with hiv. Homeopathy also has a collaborative place in these people's ongoing care. It needs to be done by experienced, rigorous professionals. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23795222.

No: HIV is serious. Please see HIV specialist and don't get scammed by someone offering unproven potions at high cost for false hope. You may always chose a specialist who is open to your particular concerns.
