Query for hiv positive

Question

Asked for Male, 25 Years

I'm HIV positive person. I have been trying to keep my immunity up by ayurvedic means too. For that I'm thinking of taking giloy juice regularly. So my query is whether I can take the giloy juice. If yes when should I consume it? Would it be interacting with my present antiretroviral medicine. Can it have any side effects? Apart from this, can you please suggest me something for increasing my immunity. As being a HIV positive person m always at more risk of being infected with other diseases.

I don't see any interaction of giloy with antiretrovirals. In order to improve immunity it is adviseable to take chyavanprash 1 tsp daily. It has amla, giloy and several other drugs that are antioxidants and help with improving immunity.

Health Tips

The best way to break the chain of infection is frequent hand washing with soap and water.
