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 Suzan, sorry to hear about the hot flushes and night sweats. Talking with your doctor or pharmacist will be a good place to have a discussion about this. But in short, no. Menoforce will not interact with your ARVs. The active ingredient is sage and this has no known interaction with HIV medication.

Hi Dee,
Without knowing what’s in the slimming tea and what ARVs it is that you’re taking, it’s not possible to say. However, tea won’t make you lose weight, to lose weight people need to exercise and have a healthy diet.
