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.

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.
