Silver therapy
Oct 30, 2009

Thanks Dr. henary for answer to my earlier question. Please also comment on the claim of the vendor that this is being used in many hospitals in the USA and is legal.Whether there would be serious side effect of this therapy ? I want to use it as supplement to delay the start of ARV for some more time as my son is only 20.

Response from Dr. Henry

Silver therapy is not being used in US hospitals for the treatment of HIV infection. There is no clinically significant published evidence that silver therapy provides any benefit for HIV infection and may pose some health hazard. KH
