Abstract
AIDS: A brief review of the herb Cat's Claw, its history, and its effect on hormones, cancer, and HIV/AIDS is provided. A study involving 13 persons with HIV/AIDS taking the herb is also described. Since little is known about the herb, Cat's Claw has no clear benefits or usefulness in treating HIV/AIDS.
