thx!! i guess this would be an antidepressant drug? so it wouldn't classify as one of those that could delay seroconversion?

It is an antidepressant drug,part of the SSRI Family,and NO,it doesn't delay seroconversion.

thx again!! i just heard that powerful drugs could delay seroconversion,,and based from my experience this drug has some nasty side effects. i just though this would be one of those "powerful drugs"that could prolong my window period. i just needed reassurance from people around here. so my 85 days would be conclusive right?

i would just like to wrap it up once and for all with the following questions...

1. is there any std that could delay window period? (ie, hepatits, syph, gonnohrea)?
2.and that my 12 weeks are not going to change in relation to my exposure?
3.was my test valid? lab based tests are also 12-week conclusive?
4. can i continue having unprotected sex with my longterm gf?
5.any medicine that would delay window period?

i'm just finding a hard time trying to digest all these...i just like to get definitive answers. thx all very much!!!
