Ethno-epidemiology, a field bridging culture and health, provides critical insights into how traditional beliefs and practices influence health behavior and the integration of biomedical and traditional health systems. This article examines the utilization of Moringa oleifera among adult HIV patients on Dolutegravir-based antiretroviral therapy (ART) in Zambia. Recognized for its nutritional and medicinal properties, Moringa oleifera has gained cultural acceptance as a complementary therapy. Using the Health Belief Model this study explores the role of cultural beliefs, community endorsement, and socio-structural factors in shaping health behaviors. The findings underscored the need for culturally sensitive healthcare strategies to safely integrate traditional remedies like Moringa oleifera into HIV management.
