relationship between CMV, Epstein-Barr and HIV

[27andsick]

I just got the results of a blood test yesterday.  I was tested for CMV, Epstein-Barr and HIV.  I was told that my CMV and Epstein-Barr levels were high.  I was also told that HIV antibodies were undetectable, thank God!  Unfortunatly, I am still worried about possible HIV infection because my doctor was not able to clearly define the relationship between CMV, Epstein-Barr and HIV.  My risky exposure occured 9 weeks before this blood test, so I am guessing that my negative or undetectable result is valid, unless, the antibodies that my body has produced to fight CMV and Epstein-Barr somehow gave me a faulty negative result for HIV.  What I want to know is, are high levels of CMV and Epstein-Barr indications of HIV?  Could these infections afftect my HIV antibody test?  How confident should I be that I do not have HIV,given that my exposure was 9 weeks ago and my test for HIV antibodies came back negative?  Are there any statistics that show the relationship between acute HIV infection and high levels of CMV and Epstein-Barr?

Most people have CMV but there immune system keeps it in check. Those with advance HIV disease (AIDS) that have a CD4 count below 100 are more acceptable to having problems with CMV, mainly retintius and blurred vision. CMV is controlled with HAART medications, so now days it's really not a concern like it was in the early 90's.

Thank you for the response. One more question, are you aware of any correlation between CMV, Epstein-Barr infection and recent HIV infection?  I am confused because all of the information I have seen concerning the relationship between CMV and HIV is only in discussions about advanced stage HIV and the fatal risks that CMV would pose for someone in that advanced stage.

No high levels of CMV or Epstein-Barr is not an indication of HIV and neither would skew your test results. 9 weeks negative is a good indicator of what your conclusive HIV test will be.
