Chinese medicine （CM） has been used throughout the last decade, and a management modality was developed, which can be described by unified-planning, graded- administration, and centralized-controlling （UGC）. The UGC modality has one primary concept （patient-centered medicine from CM theory）, four basic foundations （classifying administrative region, characteristics of CM on disease treatment, health resource conditions, and distribution of patients living with HIV）, six important relationships （the ＂three uniformities and three combinations,＂ and the six relationships therein guide the treatment of AIDS with CM）, and four key sections （management, operation, records, and evaluation）. In this article, the authors introduce the UGC modality, which could be beneficial to developing countries or resource-limited areas for the management of chronic infectious disease.展开更多
