No. The medicines you are taking would not affect the test result in any way.

Let me get this straight.........you're testing 3 YEARS after your last possible exposure and you are worried about the result? Jeez, you could have saved yourself 2 years and 9 months of unnecessary worry, byt testing at three months after your exposure. So yes you can be assured that the result is final and conclusive.
