Lyme testing
I want to get tested by igenex and already have the kit. My question is I have been on amoxicillin/clavulante potassium tablets for a week now and will that affect the test results?

I can only speak from my experiences, and i believe i read somewhere you should be abx free for at least 2 weeks, so i went 2 months with none.
I wanted to make sure there were none in my system, so the test had a chance to test pos, and it did...see my testing here.
