Close to one out of every two people with HIV in rural KwaZulu-Natal believes traditional remedies are safer than Western medicines.

And more than 66% believe that they would not be able to live without traditional medicines, more than 60% believe that herbs control their HIV rather than antiretroviral drugs and 96% of participants believe doctors prescribe too many medicines.
