The union health ministry could use Baba Ramdev's reported cure to HIV/AIDS if it is clinically cleared, Union Minister of State for Health and AYUSH Shripad Naik said on Tuesday.

Naik, a North Goa MP, was addressing a press conference in Panaji to announce the agenda for the International Youth Day on Wednesday.

"We have asked him for details about how he has done it and if it is clinically cleared then we will go ahead and use it," Naik said, when asked if the ministry had examined claims made by Ramdev in the past about allegedly possessing a cure for HIV/AIDS.
