这篇综述描述了有关非洲传统治疗师(TAHS)和生物医学从业者在南部非洲艾滋病毒/艾滋病干预措施中合作的研究文献。这篇论文参考了学术文本，包括已发表和未发表的研究论文、书籍和报告，以及关于该主题的新闻评论。重点是南部非洲文学，但也包括来自非洲大陆其他地方的精选文本。而不是简单地审查选定的干预措施，本文询问了分配给传统治疗师的角色，特别强调了占卜师-从业者，如izangoma(SIN.Isangoma：zulu；igqirha，amagqirha：xhosa)。本文调查了传统治疗师在这些干预中的经验，以及生物医学专业人员的反应，并探讨了可能阻碍未来合作的一些障碍。最后，本文对未来的方案和相关研究提出了一些建议和建议。
This review describes research literature involved with efforts at collaboration between traditional African healers (TAHs) and biomedical practitioners in HIV/AIDS interventions in Southern Africa. The paper draws on academic texts including published and unpublished research papers, books and reports, and press comments on the subject. The focus is on Southern African literature, but selected texts from elsewhere on the continent are also included. Rather than simply reviewing selected interventions, this paper interrogates the roles assigned to traditional healers, emphasising in particular diviner-practitioners such as izangoma (sing. isangoma: Zulu; igqirha, amagqirha: Xhosa) in these interventions. The paper investigates the experience of traditional healers of these interventions, and the responses of biomedical professionals, and explores some obstacles which may hinder future collaborations. The paper concludes with some recommendations and proposals for future schemes and related research.
