Dr,
My 3 year old had a blood contamination incident which visiting a doctor in genetics and that is the reason i am very much worried is that she is falling sick all the time.
Before the incident i rarely remember taking her to the doctor once every 6 month.
After that incident she is continously falling sick once or twice very month with runny nose, cold, cough and sometimes fever. It has been close to one year now and we are dealing with the same situation day in and day out.
It is very rare that is she is not having runny nose or cold,cough. May be i can think of one week in a month she is good, and three weeks she is having this problems.
After three days after the blood was drown, she had high running nose, cough, and after seven days after the blood was drawn, she has high fever from the past four days including the running nose and cough, and is taking ibuprofen to control the temperature, and an antibiotic as well.
She uses Albuterol, budesonide(oral inhalers) in her nebulizer and some antiboitics(if she has fever), she takes Nasonex shots, and she uses Waldryl allergy and Zyrtec.
I discussed the situation with my pediatrician and because of the blood contamination incident, we got her tested for Hep A, Hep B, Hep C and HIV after 5 months 20 days after the incident.
Now she is 4 years old.
My question to you doctor is do you think using these medications either budesonide or those antibiotics or those Nasonex shots or Waldryl,Zyrtec.
Do these medications or treatments cause a wrong HIV antibody test result or a delay. Would that in any way affect my test results/ antibody production?
They did a western blot for HIV without doing an elisa, it was negative.
