No, chemotherapy is not used in HIV/AID patients. The reason it is not is because HIV and AIDs deplete the white blood cells in your blood. White blood cells are what help you fight off disease and infection. Chemotherapy lowers your white blood cells as well, which lowers your immunity. So doing chemo and having AIDs at the same time doubly lowers your white blood cells, which makes the effect of AIDs worse.
There is currently no known cure for AIDs.

∙ 13y agoAIDS is a diagnosis of a condition that reflects a weakened immune system. HIV is the virus that causes AIDS. There are many treatments available for HIV infection, but they don't resemble the chemotherapy used with cancer patients.
HIV positive patients are treated with drugs called "inhibitors." The medicines are called inihibitors because they slow the virus' ability to reproduce by inhibiting the replication process.
