Does receiving an influenza vaccine can give a false positive on a 4th gen HIV test?
Greetings.
I received a influenza vaccine about 3 weeks ago. I'm going to take a 4th generation antigen/antibody HIV test tomorrow, after 15 weeks since my risk exposure. Can I get a false positive on that test because of the influenza vaccine I received? If so, how common is this phenomenon?
Thanks for your answers.
