Rapid Test and Valtrex

After 1 year of thought exposure took a rapid test at the doctor's office and it came back negative. I am also on Valtrex for herpes. Can valtrex effect the results, should i retest again?

1 year post-exposure is conclusive. You are HIV negative. Move on.

Valtrex will NOT affect the conclusiveness of your HIV test results.
