Cystic Fibrosis and HIV tests

[Douger2k10]

I need a medical professional to help me with this question. I just had an HIV Antibody Test and an HIV DNA PCR test done. They both came back negative. I have cystic fibrosis and was wondering if the fact that I have CF, can it affect the results of the HIV Antibody Test? Or the HIV DNA PCR test?

Also, I was inhaling Pulmicort (a cortcosial steroid), through a nebulizer for my lungs. I was only on it for 5 days and it was about two weeks before I was tested for HIV. Can that affect these tests too?

Please let me know. Thank You very much.

All I want to know is if Cystic Fibrosis can hide HIV antibodies during an HIV antibody test. Nobody can seem to answer it.

Thanks.

You missed my entire question.

What part of, "you did not have a risk" is it you don't understand? HIV is not transmitted by masturbation.
