Acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) is the name used to describe several potentially life-threatening infections and disorders that happen when HIV has severely compromised the immune system. The primary effect of HIV is to decrease host immunity, exposing the host to external pathogens. The development of pharmaceutical drugs that directly cure the infection is crucial because of the current wide-ranging epidemic of HIV. Most therapeutic anti-HIV drugs are nucleosides. However, their high toxicity and potential for drug resistance restrict their use. Many of the most effective clinical drugs used to inhibit HIV, the activation of latent HIV, and AIDS have been obtained from natural sources. This review focuses on potential natural medicinal products for treating and managing HIV and AIDS. Notwithstanding, further clinical research studies are needed to understand the subject and its dynamics.
