12 Week Test While on Rx

Dr HHH or any other qualified member, I'm a male who had unprotected interourse with promiscuos female. at 85 days my HIV 1/2 EIA AB screen through quest diagnostics reads non-reactive. I've been using hydrocortisone 1% for years on face as a topical treatment and during 85 day window have also taken percocet, vicodin, and toradol. I would say the use of these 3 were about once a week maximum. never percocet and vicodin at same time. ive also been given an ointment consisting of desonide-nizoral for same treatment as hydrocortisone cream. did any of these Rx's affect my EIA test? is 85 days proper window? thank you

My question isn't debating your stance. I'm merely asking the reasoning behind differences in information

Could it be known exposures that change windows change? Like known sex with + person or known contamination with + blood

Teak. A Question. What is the difference/significance/reason behind people saying: 12 weeks, 13 weeks, 3, months, 90 days, etc? Why the variance and why isn't one of those commonly used terms the sandard. What happens if you're a day before 12 weeks? Some info out there can be misleading so that's why I'm asking. You seem like a stickler for CDC guidelines but 12 weeks isn't 3 months. Anything you can offer to my curiosity here? And thanks again for your time

Teak,

Learned the female is an exotic dancer. I would consider this a high risk exposure. Is my 85 day EIA HIV AB screen at 85 days still reliable?

None of those Rx's would affect your test result. You are conclusively negative.
