Very low vitamin D - 7 ng/ml affects HIV test results?

Very low vitamin D - 7 ng/ml affects HIV test results?

Dear Doctor,

I am writing to you from India. I had unprotected oral and protected vaginal (for 30 sec) with a sex worker, who may be positive. I got the HIV 1 and 2 blood tests done at 5 days after completion of 5 weeks. In other words, I was 2 days short of 6 weeks from the date of the incident and this test was negative.

Yesterday I got the results for vitamin D check as a part of complete blood work. It was very low at 7. I also have high cholesterol (241) and triglycerides (254).

I have had some asthma medication in the past few months and I am taking dietary supplements by Elemis based on various Algae (for Energy, contouring, vitality, cellulite removal)

Q1) Does my very low vitamin D - 7 ng/ML affect the HIV 1 and 2 results? This is worrying me no end having read somewhere that low vitamin D can be due to or can lead to auto immune disease. Also some posts mention that autoimmune disease can delay antibody production.

Q2) I have some skin rashes akin to small red dots which are itchy over my arms, hands and a few on my back at 6 weeks. I have a very slight fever 99. Is this a sign of ASR? Or is it just that I am too stressed out by this whole episode which is causing all these things?

Q3) Given my negative test of HIV 1 and 2 at 5 weeks and 5 days in conjunction with my very low Vitamin D, do you think I am OK to move on?

I am extremely tense.

Thank you in advance for your answers.
