No, neither the shingles nor the valacyclovir will influence your test results or your antibody response

thank you so the fact that i had shingles and taking valtrex when i did my test dont change the accurancy of the test
The headline to your question is "is it HIV?". The answer is no.
I say this with confidence because of your test results. A negative blood test at 10.5 weeks proves that you did not get HIV from the exposures you describe and there is no need for further testing.
Given your test results, your questions about symptoms and their relationship to HIV are irrelevant and if they are troubling you, you should discuss them with your own doctor. On the other hand if it is just that you are worried because of the possibility that you have HIV, I hope that my comments will give you peace of mind and allow you to move forward from your concerns.
In answer to your question about ARS, the ARS typically starts about 2-3 weeks following exposure and typically last about a week. Less than half of people who get HIV have the ARS.
Take care. EWH
one more question is it common to have ars after 5 weeks and how long do ars last
