could prednisolone affect on HIV elisa test ?

hello , I had an exposure 11 weeks ago and used prednisolone between weeks 8 to 11 , and after that got a negative ag/ab elisa hiv test . (11 weeks after exposure) . my question is that :as prednisone is an immunosupressant , could it   hide my hiv antibodies ? if yes , how about hiv ag ?
and is my hiv ag/ab test after 11 weeks (with 3 weeks use prednisolone) accurate ?

IF SOMEONE HAD A RISK, prednisone would not effect their HIV test.

YOU did not have a risk.
