H1N1 Vaccine and HIV false positive test.

Hi , I have taken H1N1 nasal spray vaccine 2 months ago and plan to do HIV test in the next 3 weeks. Is there a possibility that the H1N1 vaccine may result in a false positive HIV elisa blood test?

Thanks,

No. But if you are going to test wait at least 4-6 weeks from the date of your exposure and ensure its at least 3rd gen at a minimum with 4th gen being the best
