  In an adult, a positive HIV antibody test result means that the person is infected, a person with a negative or inconclusive result may be in the “window for 4 to 6 weeks but occasionally up to 3 months after HIV exposure. Persons at high risk who initially test negative should be retested 3 months after exposure to confirm results

If you had a condom failure, you need to get a HIV test done. As you have tested at 83 days, you will get a conclusive result. If you are worried about STD's you can speak to your doctor.

Ideally none of the medicines affect a HIV test except nPEP. Can you tell us what was your exposure, what made you take the HIV test in the first place?

Multiple protected sex partners.  Fear condom might have not protected me on one and unprotected with GF.

Needed to use pills and marijuana lightly to get to this point. Week 3 bactrim 5 days, brief marijuana use, and 2 weeks of zaproxian for "bipolar?"  Think this will affect the test any?

Your 12 week test is completely conclusive. 6 months were the old CDC guidelines. Stay safe.
