Valaciclovir and HIV test windows period

Hi All,

I read that herpes medication could reduce the viral load of HIV. I am on HSV1 medication and want to take the 3 month test in October. will this medication affect the window period ?

I am 35 y.o male with no known health problem.

I have never heard of that to affect a wondow period. 3 months from exposure is fine.

Valacyclovir will not skew your HIV test.

your medication will not affect your results . Erin

I hope no body mind me sharing my anxiety and posting question again

last july I had sex with CSW, protected oral and vaginal. however, I got gonorrhea. now I'm worried sick about getting HIV :(

3 months seems a very long time from now.

does anyone know how did I got gonorrhea even I use condom for oral and vaginal ?

anyway, the herpes is not connected in anyway with sex. it's HSV-1 and my doctor told me I already have it previous this CSW incident.

thank you for listening and your support.

It's not an HIV concern.
