Olive Leaf Extract/Selenium- Higher Test?

Libido - Test - Immune System

OK, I noticed that I've been having boosted libido lately - i mean, like over the top 3x poppin like 10years ago. I take 5 caps of ZIP ED and it contains olive leaf extract (oleuropein) and Selenium. Since OLE and Selenium both increase immune system and have shown to boost CD4 levels (immune marker).. and low CD4 levels in HIV pacients correlate with low test in studies, could this be kicking me in to high gear? I am in normal health and don't have an immune problem. I also stopped rec. drugs (MJ) too.

HIV - In reference to HIV, Positive Health News (m) reports that a man from Oakland, CA, who after taking Olive Leaf Tea 4 times a day for 3-1/2 months, without any other medications, lowered his HIV viral load 47%, his CD4 and CD8 count rose 24% and 27%, his WBC was increased 38% and his absolute Lymphocyte count rose 40%. I'd say Olive Leaf Tea made a difference!

Selenium is an indispensable part of the enzyme glutathione peroxidase, which protects cells from oxidative stress and damage. Glutathione is a key component in preventing free radical pathology.
In addition to selenium's role as an antioxidant, recent research shows the importance of selenium in the progress of viral diseases. A study at the University of Miami looked at many factors in predicting death in HIV infection. The only two conditions found to independently predict were CD4 counts (a measure of immune cell activity) and the level of selenium in the body. Selenium declines consistently as HIV progresses.
