Is it safe to use Aloe Vera?

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.

Hi Margaret,
It’s great that you don’t have problems about illness. But what does your doctor say about loosing fat like this? Fat loss is a side affect that was associated with older HIV drugs d4T and AZT.
So please let us know what HIV meds you are taking. If you have access to your viral load results, please tell us what they are.
Please see this guide to side effects and fat loss.
Am HIV with CD4 350 and don’t have any problems about illness at, just a question about loosing fat in my arms, face, and legs, is there any remedy or any medicine to repair the damaged places?
Hi Doricca,
All fruit and vegatables are fine for a person on ARVs. A good balanced diet, as shown here, can benefit your health.

Hi Dinah,
I’m not sure what is in Maluti powder. What HIV meds are you taking? With all diet supplements it’s important to check that they don’t interact with your meds.
An hiv positive person can drink maluti powder
