The significant effects of constitutional factor on AIDS were addressed. Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), caused by HIV, is mainly characterized as decreased immune function or immune deficiency. It has strong infectiousness and higher mortality, so it is one of the diseases that attract great attention to clinical prevention and treatment. The constitution not only exerts significant effect on the immune function of patients with AIDS, but also plays important roles in the development, prognosis, and outcomes of AIDS. Therefore, it is of great referential significance in both clinical and scientific studies of AIDS by exploring Chinese medicine prevention and treatment of AIDS from the angle of constitution.
