The doctors on the expert forum both agree that the ONLY medication that COULD potentially affect HIV test results is potent chemotherapy for cancer patients. Other than that, medications do not alter the results of the test and yes, your 3 months test would be conclusive even with your medications for TB.
Don't worry- oral sex truly is not a risk for HIV transmission. I understand you're worried but you really have no reason to be. Expect a negative result on your test and don't be scared!
You're very welcome and thanks so much for the compliments. :)

I am actually following the HIV forum since i had given oral sex to women. Cause I am little worried that I got Hiv.. cause I get Ars symptoms sequentially.. Back pain or neck pain or feel like runny nose... feeling tired or something.. I am going to test tommrow for 12 weeks for all STD's including HIV.. next week for HIV only.. just to eliminate the Anxiety..
