Thanks for the help on information rendered in 2010. Happy New Year too!
I would like to find out if it is safe to use Aloe Vera if you are HIV positive with a CD4 count of over 1000. I have been taking it for over 3 years. Are there any known side effects or studies conducted on Aloe Vera?
Answer
Thank you for your question and a Happy New Year to you too.
It is fine to use Aloe Vera, there are no interactions with HIV medications.
Hello Sinazo and thanks for getting in touch.
If you are talking about aloe vera gel then yes you can use it.
If you are talking about a supplement you should make sure it doesn’t interact with your ARVs
