Zoverex and Hiv Test Results

I one was on Zoverex the herpes 2 meds on the 3rd and 4th week after the exposure and than had a neg allissa test done at 14 1/2 weeks post exposure.  could the herpes meds have effected the test results? is it nessesary to retest at 6 months? I read so many conflicting responses to this question all over the place includeing my gp who said to be safe retest in 6 months. As you all know the waiting to test drives you insane. I read something online that stated there was a study done that may show that zoverex could slow done the something or other happening to the c4 cells or something to that effect.  Thanks

* Anyone who continues to post excessively, questioning a conclusively negative result or no-risk situation, will be subject to action by MedHelp. Conclusively negative results or a no-risk situation will be based upon the criteria established by MedHelp’s doctors. Action will be taken as follows:
    * After excessive posting, a warning will be issued by MedHelp
    * Continuing to post regarding the negative result / no risk situation will result in a 3 day suspension
    * Continuing to post upon your return will result in a permanent ban.

No need to test 6 months. Medication has no effect on the results.
