Absolutely!
TCM can make the immune system stronger. In TCM the spleen is very important for the immune system. The spleen organ is responsable for making blood (white blood cells included). When the spleen becomes deficient; the patients becomes fatigued and gets low appetite and digestive problems; loose stools included.
TCM can tonify the blood, which literally means that the body is stimulated to make new blood (and t helper cells in the blood and white blood cells) through acupuncture and TCM herbology.
Another important organ to tonify in HIV/AIDS would be the liver; the organ that stores blood.
TCM can also move blood (in case of blood stasis (pain) in AIDS patients), and clear toxic heat(the viral load).
Acupuncture and TCM have been thus proven to be very effective in helping HIV positive people, and uninfected people keep strong immune systems.

Yes I agree, but don't forget the Lungs. Besides the Spleen of course, the Liver & Lungs have a very big part with regards to the compromised immunity.
In the Nei Jing or Nan Jing take a look at the concept of "Qi Wild". That separation of Yin & Yang.
This is one way we should take a look toward when understanding AIDS and helping the body fight it.
