human growth hormone and hiv test

[jamie782]

i got hiv tested between 4 -5 months after exposure,a rapid test and a normal blood test, both came back negative.however i am worried sick as i have been taking growth hormone as im a bodybuilder for the last 4 months, could this effect the window period of my test.i asked the doctor who took the test at the time but he said he wouldent,but im not too sure anymore as iv read it effects the immune system, and now my partner is starting to get a rash on her back ad chest and a sore throat,yet i have no symptoms,can somebody please put my mind at rest as i suffer form anxiety anyway.thankyou

and i have been injecting steroids aswell in the last 4 months since exposure will this effect the window period. can somebody clarify please

[jamie782]

i probally should add i inject the growth with needles but there all clean and i dont share

thanks guys.im just really anxious as she has never had a rash before,or gets ill seldom but its happened both at once.just thought there might be a chance that steroids or growth hormone might increse the window period.but it has been between 4  and 5 months since exposure.just trying to put my mind at ease.because i was feeling great when my reuslts came back negative then on that same day she came down with a rash and temp.

3 months is conclusive.  Those that may take longer are those people who are on chemotherapy, taking anti-rejection drugs following an organ transplant, or are CHRONIC, long term iv drug abusers.

As Teak told you "No. You are conclusively negative".

Hope this helps.
