Fat buner/thermogenic affect test result

I have been using a product to help me lose weight called Oxyelite Pro. I think it's categorized as a "thermogenic" and affects the body's T3 production. I tested  negative negative 10 weeks post possible exposure and was curious to know if having this product in my system would affect the HIV test in any way or cause me to have a false negative result? Please help.

I had a follow up question I was hoping you can answer for me. I am an Esthetician and while I was working on a client, I cause some bleeding on her face due to the blemish extraction part. I did wear latex gloves for this procedure but when I was finished with the facial, I noticed I had a small scratch-like open wound on my wrist, which I'm not sure how I got. It was not bleeding per se, but it was red and pinkish...definitely fresh...maybe acquired a few minutes before starting the facial or during. My question is, am I at risk for infection if she was HIV positive and her blood or fluids from her face (oil secretions) somehow got onto my cut? I thought nothing of it at the time and I usually don't worry about these trivial cuts but I woke up this morning and the cut was kind of sore and it hurt. Please, any insight/assesment would be very helpful.

The only things that may alter an HIV test, is chemo, antirejection drugs for transplants and chronic IV drug abusers.

Thanks Vance..don't mean to press on the issue, but would the same apply if it affected T4 and alpha 1/2 receptors in the body?

No it would not affect a HIV test.
