Can taking green tea interfere with ARVs?
Answer
Thank you for your question.
Green Tea has not been scientifically proven to have anti-HIV properties as this website states. You have to be careful what you are reading. There are millions of people who believe they have the cure to HIV but in reality, if it were true, there would be no need for ARVs.
However, green tea is a good antioxidant and a healthy thing to drink. It does not interfere with any ARVs.
Hi shanyengange,
Yes you can have a beer if you’re taking meds and at the time you’ve indicated.
Can I drink 1 beer at 13:00pm while I’m taking my ARV pill at 9:30pm?
Hi Val,
No. However, what’s the reason behind drinking these? If its to help your HIV, these won’t work.
