In the heart of Uganda, where lush landscapes meet resilient communities, a rich tradition thrives—the use of medicinal plants by traditional herbalists to combat opportunistic infections (OIs) in people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). This centuries-old knowledge offers insights into sustainable healthcare solutions, bridging the gap between traditional and modern medicine. A Critical Challenge: Opportunistic Infections in HIV/AIDS Globally, over 36.9 million individuals live with HIV/AIDS, with more than two-thirds residing in sub-Saharan Africa. Opportunistic infections—bacterial, viral, fungal, and parasitic—are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in PLWHA, especially in resource-limited settings like Uganda. While antiretroviral therapy (ART) has revolutionized...
