HIV question, would this affect the antibodies?

I had a exposure in late October.
I posted back on this site before.
I got a hiv test at 13.5 weeks and it came back negative.
I went to my homeopathic doctor, he said my immune system is down and my hormones are out of control.
he said there was a parasite in my colon. (my groin is swollen) I'm now doing a parasitic cleanse to get rid of it.
I'm just wondering if I did catch a parasite + hiv at the same time would it affect the antibodies test / widow period?
because I know parasites can effect the immune system. please help! thank you.

your right,parasites can effect the immune system,and have been to trigger an immune response,antibodies,and cause a false positive.you,however had a negative result past the conclusive hiv window period of 3months,your fine.

The chance of acquiring an intestinal parasite in a developed nation is extremely improbable. It didn't affect your test. Negative is negative!
