Prednisone and HIV test

I have been sick and my doctor ordered me to take a regiment of medication being prednisone, doxycycline and furosemide. I have been on the prednisone for 2 weeks now and he has ordered me to take 5 mg every 8 hours (he gave me 80 pills)

Would the prednisone effect my HIV results? Thank you.

Thank you for answering. Even if I am only going to test around June? By then I would've taken the whole dosage of the medication and I guess it'd be working its way out but I just wasn't sure if it'd cause antibodies to hide from the test because of the medication
