Am HIV positive and have been on anti retrovirol for the las t three years. Ihave always been told that i cant use supplements such as Omega 3 or aloe vera juice and so forth. What is the danger here. Dan, Kisumu, Kenya
Thanks for the query
The dangers are that theer might be decreased absorption of the drug particles due to cross reaction. However if u want to take supplements u can have a healthy diet and take Vit B complex everymorning after food
I am not too sure as to why aloe vera was stopped for u. Ask the doctor who has stopped the medications
I am happy u r taking anto retroviral medicines
Have a healthy life
