Due to several constraints of the antiretroviral therapy programme HIV-infected persons still use ethnomedicines to manage AIDS-related opportunistic infections. Despite the reliance on plants to manage HIV AIDS in Katima Mulilo there have been no empirical studies to document the specific plant species used by traditional healers to treat AIDS-related opportunistic infections. In this study an ethnobotanical survey was conducted to record the various plant families species and plant parts used to manage different HIV AIDS-related opportunistic infections in Katima Mulilo Caprivi region Namibia. The results showed that a total of 71 plant species from 28 families mostly the Combretaceae 14 Anacardiaceae 8 Mimosaceae 8 and Ebanaceae 7 were used to treat conditions such as herpes zoster diarrhoea coughing malaria meningitis and tuberculosis. The most plant parts used were leaves 33 bark 32 and roots 28 while the least used plant parts were fruits seeds 4 . Further research is needed to isolate the plants active chemical compounds and understand their modes of action. Background The first case of Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome AIDS in Namibia was identified in 1986 1 . Since then Human Immunodeficiency Virus HIV infection has spread rapidly throughout the country. From the first sentinel surveillance survey in 1992 when the HIV prevalence rate was the epidemic rose in 1996 and peaked in 2002 at before declining to in 2004 and in 2008 1 . Now the country has a generalized HIV AIDS epidemic with about 230 000 to 250 000 people living with HIV
