These days Yoga practices are more in vogue for prevention as well as cure of many diseases - even for the likes of cancer. So could it work with HIV/AIDS as well?

This isn't the only idea that mistakenly tries to fit "natural" or "wholistic" practices into a disease process that needs something more than a good stretch. Yoga is great for feeing better. It neither prevents, nor treats diseases or disorders that leave evidence of their existence with lab tests or medical imaging.

I don't think Yoga helps with cancer treatnents and it certainly doesn't cure it. Cancer's behavior is at the cellular level and I doubt it is affected by one's state of mind. For those who will rush in to say that the immune system works better with positive thinking and stress management, Once cancer is established, the immune system is out of the equation. If a particular type of cancer can be attributed to stress, then the stress that causes the cancer happens LONG before the cancer actually develops.
