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.

Asked in HIV and AIDS
Can you have an accurate HIV test 10 days after a possible exposure?
Yes you can. I went for an hiv rapid finger stick test which
came out negative =) But they take blood/urine samples to test for
chlamydia gonnorhea and syphilis as well as hiv and you can get
your results within 10 days. Say you had sex today. (May 5. 2009)
unprotected with a possibly hiv infected partner you get tested on
may 15, 2009. The test can confirm if you are indeed infected with
hiv or not. The test looks for the actual virus 10 days and prior.
So wait 10 days then go get tested and you will get your results
within 7 buisness days. The rapid hiv test only confirms if you are
hiv + or - 3 months and prior I hope this helps and good luck.
