Ilex 15 contains licorice (liquorice). Adverse reactions to licorice (liquorice) reported amongst HIV-positive people include: low potassium levels, muscle weakness and soreness, high blood pressure and fluid retention.

Additionally, as with many common health foods / nutritional supplements / natural remedies (such as grapefruit juice, aloe vera, borage oil, DHEA, ginko, St John's wort, milk thistle and valerian), there is a theoretical risk of an adverse interaction between anti-HIV drugs and licorice (liquorice).

If you are HIV-positive and thinking about taking Ilex 15 (or any other supplement) it is very important that you first speak to your doctor / pharmacist.

What is the inccubation for HIV?

The term incubation is not generally used in reference to HIV infection. However, there is a period of time when someone can be infected with the virus and test negative. The "window period" refers to the period of time between when someone is infected with HIV until they can test positive. The "window period" is anywhere between 28 and 90 days after infection. The "window period" occurs because the standard HIV tests detect anitbodies that occur as a result of HIV infection. Antibodies are not immediately detectable after infection.
