RESUMEN
Objetivo: identificar uso de terapias alternativas/complementarias
(TA/C) en pacientes infectados con el
virus de inmunodeficiencia humana (VIH+), así
como tipo, tiempo y factores asociados.
Métodos: estudio transversal en clínicas de VIH de
tres instituciones líderes; participaron 293 sujetos a
quienes se les aplicó un cuestionario específico por
personal estandarizado con información demográfica
y de utilización de TA/C.
Resultados: la prevalencia de uso de TA/C fue de
73.4 %; 71 % informó al médico tratante de su empleo;
51 % indicó usar suplementos alimenticios,
29.7 % herbolaria y 19 % agentes físicos, ejercicio,
medicina china y terapia por contacto; 96.6 % de los
usuarios percibió beneficio. Los pacientes con bajos
ingresos, derechohabientes del IMSS y con tratamiento
antirretroviral, fueron los mayores usuarios.
Conclusiones: el uso de TA/C es una práctica común
entre pacientes VIH+. No se limita a un solo
producto, siendo los polivitamínicos y los productos
herbarios los más utilizados, la mayoría tiene prescripción
por personal de salud y los usuarios manifestaron
algún beneficio. Se requieren otros estudios
de seguimiento para establecer el impacto de las
TA/C sobre la evolución de la enfermedad y la calidad
de vida de los pacientes VIH+.
