DGL: DGL is licorice w/an enzyme removed which could raise BP if taken over a long period of time.  DGL is used as a natural replacement for acid blockers.  It coats the stomach and esophagus.  Peace and good health.  If you are on an acid blocker and switch (ask doc first) you may have a rebound effect for a while.

hello, i took a sip of coconut water from the same bottle and drink of an hiv positive person. they were drinking it before and after me. am i at risk?

Accepted Answer

No, you're not!: Hiv is an infection caused by a virus, and spread between people by blood contact, like by sharing needles or having sex without protection. It doesn't spread from sharing cups or eating utensils, or using the same towel. You have to get the person's blood in contact with your blood. So don't worry! I hope that helps!
