having cmv does not alter hiv test results.

Hi there! It is said by some experts that CMV, EBV and HPV and some STDS can change HIV testing results because standard HIV tests only detects antibodies (e.g ELISA). Also other diseases such as LUPUS can change these results.

U have no concerns though,
Take care!

[Patrick784]

yes i had the test after 7 -8 years, and even if the person with aids test positive until they die thank you

if you had a hiv test AND it was 3 months post exposure (OR MORE) then you have a reliable and conclusive test result.

aids is the progression of the hiv virus.  a person with aids WILL test positive.
