hiv testing

if i drunk acyclovir because of hsv1 can that affect on my hiv testing? i was tested 7 weeks after the exposure. i had only 1 risk sexual contact and this person was also tested after 1 week of exposure and found negative for hiv and hcv and hbsag. the test that was used was elisa test 4. generation for bouth of us. is it possible that the result is false negative because of the acyclovir use (this person did not take any medicine at the time)?

I forgot to say that i have also marks and a plaque on my thung. could it be from unapropreate antibiotics use. mu doctor gave me 120mg of geramycin at once and cyprocynal for 8 days 3x 500 mg as well as orvagil 2 times a day? I'm loosing my mind. my thung and my liver functions are horible. could it be hpv?

My doctor said to me that i have mono symptoms and my ast is pretty much high- 44. my alt is 36.5 so it is on the limit. i was diagonsticated chlamidia as well as hpv - low oncogenic and hsv1, that's why i got a lot medicines- antibiotics (10 boxes), acyclovir as well as progesteron. Did that affect on my liver? But fortunatelly i didn't have chlamidia at all.it was a mistake. i asked the doctor about hbsag and hcv. he told me that i do not have yellow skin or eyes at all, that i'm pretty much pale but not yellow, and not to worry about hbsag.do you agree? i feel pain in my liver and i want to throw up.i have a bit pale waist.
i'm not drug abuser.i've even never lighten the cigarette in my whole life. I'm worried about those mono symptoms but my monocytes and lymphocytes are ok. please, help me.this guy was tested but i'm still pretty much worried. and thank you for having patience!

Not enough to affect your test result. At least you won't be getting shingles.

You don't take enough acyclovir to affect an HIV test result.
