Summary

This study tests whether adding Qiling Yiqi tablets, a Chinese herbal medicine, to standard HIV therapy can improve immune function in people whose CD4 counts remain low despite successful viral suppression. The trial involves 240 adults with HIV who have been on antiretroviral therapy for years but still have weak immune systems. Participants will take the herbal tablets or a placebo for 48 weeks, and researchers will measure changes in CD4 cell counts and other immune markers.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a new option to help people with HIV rebuild their immune system when standard therapy alone is not enough.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small, early-stage trial. The herbal tablets may not improve immune function, and there could be side effects or interactions with HIV medications.
