由于人体免疫机能丧失病毒（艾滋病毒）感染者寻求传统治疗师的治疗，因此迫切需要记录传统治疗师用来治疗后天免疫机能丧失综合症（艾滋病）机会性疾病的植物。本研究记录了纳米比亚东卡万戈地区润都用于防治艾滋病相关机会性疾病的植物。对传统治疗师进行了一级、二级和三级抽样调查。在访谈过程中，记录了以下民族植物学数据：植物种类、使用的部位、制备方式、给药方式和治疗的疾病。资料分析采用百分比频率、熟悉度指数（F1）、知情人共识因子（F-IC）。民族药用植物有28科54属70种，主要为豆科、漆树科和使君子科。叶，其次是根和树皮，主要用于治疗皮肤病、腹泻、性传播感染、肺结核、咳嗽、口腔感染、疟疾、脑膜炎、头痛、脱发、体重减轻、癌症、肝脏、黄疸和呕吐。使用十四种植物来处理四种或更多种疾病状况：非洲黄皮木、非洲黄瓜、非洲木、芦荟、伯克氏榕、长梗叶甲、柿、蔓柿、Terminalia sericea、Naudinianus、Combretum hereroense、Dichrostachys cinerea、西门莲和绒毛木。这些多用途植物物种可能具有广泛的抗菌活性，但也有过度开发的风险。需要进一步的工作来筛选植物提取物的体外抗HIV活性和细胞毒性。(C)2015款萨博。Elsevier B.V.出版，保留所有权利。
Since human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected persons seek treatment from traditional healers, there is an urgent need to document plants used by traditional healers to manage acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) opportunistic diseases. This study documented plants used to manage AIDS-related opportunistic diseases in Rundu, Kavango East Region, Namibia. Primary, secondary and tertiary samplings of traditional healers were conducted. During the interviews, the following ethnobotanical data were recorded: plant species, parts used, modes of preparation, administration, and diseases treated. Data were analysed by calculating percentage frequencies, familiarity index (F1), and factor of informant consensus (F-IC). Seventy plant species from 54 genera and 28 families, mostly the Fabaceae, Anacardiaceae, and Combretaceae were used as ethnomedicines. Leaves, followed by roots and bark, were mostly harvested for the treatment of skin diseases, diarrhoea, STIs, TB, coughs, oral infections, malaria, meningitis, headache, hair loss, weight loss, cancer, liver, jaundice, and vomiting. Fourteen plants were used to treat four or more disease conditions: Peltopho rum africanum, Cucumis africanus, Kigelia africana, Aloe esculenta, Ficus burkei, Securidaca longepedunculata, Diospyros lycioides, Diospyros mespiliformis, Terminalia sericea, Acanthosicyos naudinianus, Combretum hereroense, Dichrostachys cinerea, Ximenia caffra, and Xylopia tomentosa. These multi-use plant species may have broad antimicrobial activities but also risk overexploitation. Further work is needed to screen plant extracts for in vitro anti-HIV activity and cytotoxicity.
