Drugs and testing

I plan to take an oraquick rapid antibodies test at the 6 week mark from an insertive oral exposure with a stripper.  Will the following drugs have an effect on the outcome of the test?


Methylprednisolone
Hydrocodone
Tramadol

Did you get tested for STDs? Don't believe I would be having unprotected sex with my wife until I made sure I didn't have any common STDs.

if there was a risk, would those meds affect testing?  

Also, I am worried as I am married.  Can I go ahead and have unprotected sex with my wife?

Exactly...kissing is not a risk, never has never will be...so why would oral be a risk...it's not.

Several sites use patient reporting as fact. So if someone tests positive and says that only received oral sex then that is documented. But when the person is really pushed for more info it often comes to light other behavior that would pose a risk. Several studies have shown to risk with oral sex. Studies have a lot more weight then reporting.

I meant to say:

If that is the theoretical way to transmitt via oral, then why is kissing with blood in the mouth NOT considered a theoretical risk?

What is with the various information?  If no case has ever been documented from insertive oral, why is it considered a risk by some sites?  How much blood would need to be present for transmission?  If that is the theoretical way to transmitt via oral, then why is kissing with blood in the mouth considered a theoretical risk?
