Hi, I have a possible exposure to HIV and it's now 7 weeks passed. I just had a antibody test using the Gen. 3 home test kit (Alere HIV 1/2).
The result comes back -ve. During these 7 weeks, I was having Propolis. My question is:
Will Propolis defer the detection of HIV antibody in these 7 weeks?
I know that antibiotics will not affect the test result but how about Propolis? I read online that some people claim that Propolis does suppress HIV effects on body and produce less antigen. Also, Propolis has some anti-tumor effect, which could be like chemo?
I wish to hear what the doctors say, and if there is anything to back the claim? Thanks a lot.
