effect of medicines on HIV test results
This is in cont.. to the quest I had posted earlier.and had forgotten to mention...
I had few low risk exposures for which I underwent few Antibody & HIV Proviral DNA PCR test.Thankfully all were negative.
I have been taking anti allergy tablet(salt Montelukast Sodium & Levocetirizine Di hydrocloride) once a day & anti anxiety tablets on and off. Do these medicines have any bearing on the antibody or HIV Proviral DNA PCR test.. I mean can they lead to false negatives in any of them.in any way. This is the last thing thats troubling me so pls pls pls reply so that I can get on with my life

Makes no difference. No medicine changes the reliability of HIV testing, with the possible exception of potent chemotherapy or immunosuppressive drugs -- and even those are theoretical, not proven.
