For three weeks after infection, a person does not feel the symptoms of a dangerous infection, since there are no antibodies to HIV in the blood. However, the period is most favorable for the use of ginger root.
The product makes it possible to strengthen the immune system, increase protective functions. The use of spices at the initial stage of infection provides tremendous stimulating support to the body and provides protection from the harmful effects of external factors.
If infection is suspected, it is recommended that acute spice be added to the diet as soon as possible. The dosage of the spice, the form and frequency of its consumption should be prescribed by a qualified doctor.

It comes three weeks after infection and is characterized by acute deterioration in human health. As a rule, antibodies to infection can be determined in the blood at the time with the help of appropriate laboratory tests, but more often they do not resort to such an analysis, since they suggest other diseases with characteristic symptoms: acute respiratory viral infections, influenza, and allergic reactions.
Any disease in acute form is a contraindication to the use of ginger, since the spice has a pronounced stimulating effect and can only worsen the condition of the patient and aggravate the development of the disease. Taking ginger root in the acute stage of HIV is strictly prohibited.
