Can being electrocuted change test results?
I was electrically shocked (high voltage, but low amps)
After I was shocked I became consitpated and had loss of appetite.
Over the next couple of months I ended up having : weight loss, skin infection, low testosterone and warts.
My story is I had unprotected vaginal sex with a women of unknown status. 6 months later I was electructed and thats where everything started.
I had taken multiple Gen 4 Antigen/Antibody tests. 1 year after the possible expsoure and 6 months after the electival shock.
I also had taken a gen 4 antigen/antibody test and a PCR RNA test( I know its not used for diagnoses, but my Dr said mainly cause of the false pos. Rate not so much the false neg) 1.5 years after the possible exposure and 1 year after the shock. All tests were negative.
Im just wondering if the shock could have altered the antibody production or even the virus itself much like chemo would do.
Should I test again?
