Paxil

Hi, I was going to start taking Paxil because of OCD on HIV. I was wondering does that affect the HIV test if I take it again in 3 months? Can that give a false negative result by taking Paxil? Also how helpful is Paxil? Thanks.

No Paxil will not give you a false negative. How helpul is Paxil? Sound like whomever thought you needed to take it would make a difference or they wouldn't have prescribed it. Now go with with a mental help professional on you OCD.
