Prednisone affect hiv test. Please HELP !!!

[poormanvn]

Hi, sorry for my bad English
I'm from Korea. I had unprotected sex (vaginal) with a woman and i think she is H+. At about 6 week post exposure I came down with a high fever for one week. At about 1 week before exposure and at about 5 week post exposure I've been on 30 mg/day of prednisone for one week. Do you think it 's HIGH DOES and delay window period ?
At 14+ Weeks I took a Rapid Test and Elisa Test (murex ag/ab combination) negative. Is it Conclusive ? Do I need to test for 6 month ?

Thanks you very much. Best wishes to you

No it won't make a difference the half life of prednisone is 2-3 hours and it doesn't build up in your body.

Thanks Teak, but in my case (1 week before exposure and 5+ weeks post exposure). I think it will make difference

- Dr Edward W Hook said that prednisone and other steroid medications can sometimes hinder of delay the development of antibodies and this effect is only present during the time that one is taking the steroid medication

- Dr H. Hunter Handsfield : In giant doses taken for more than a week, prednisone might have an effect

So in my case, are you sure that predisone will not affect ? How do "giant doses"? Can i move on my life ?
Thanks for your help

Thanks Teak. But I still scare about prednisone

[poormanvn]

But I think my high doses of prednisone will delay antibodies.Any one think my test is conclusive ?

[Teak]

You have a conclusive test result. You don't have HIV.

3 month is conclusive
