Western Approaches to HIV/AIDS?

Given that HIV/AIDS has only been in awareness for the past 40 years, I feel that Western medicine has made great strides in understanding the illness. The information gathered has encompassed a cellular and biological understanding that continues to provide researchers, physicians and scientists with more 'ammo' to prevent further infection and treat those infected. It has essentially, done what it does best by utilizing tools and technology that other medical modalities don't have access to (or interest?) in. This enhances treatment and furthers research capabilities, which only paves the way for various healing approaches to come in and treat/prevent from a different standpoint. It has laid a strong foundation for broad spread health and healing with regard to HIV.
