Hello My name is Park



  i m living in South Korea and 4.5 Month ago ..i had sex with a Karaoke girl , i use Comdom but that time ..i drunk so much so i m not sure if i can make some mistakes so that i take 4 tests at 6 week (determine1/2) 11th week(elisa ), 13th week(elisa ) and 18th week (determine 1/2) and both of them are negative ....follwing are my questions:
1)i m all right with these result ?is there a chance that i was infected with HIV2 throght there are very small case  who infected with HIV 2 in Korea ?and these test can decteted HIV2 if i was infected ?
2.)at the 10th weeks after i have sex with the Karaoke girl..i used a medicine :Deca-Durabolin (50mg)is an injectable anabolic preparatinon.The pharmacologically active substance is nandrolone. Can this medicine  effect my test result or it can take "window priod " longer than normal ?

Determine it does look for both Hiv 1 and 2, and your 13 week was 100% conclusive tou 18 weeks made it 1000000000% sure, move on forget about HIV, but nandrolone is an steriod anabolic, forbiden by the OIC so dont use it  if you are an athlete becouse you will be suspended

No, nothing is going to affect the results. You need to move on, as Teak says.

You have a conclusive negative test. You don't have HIV. No your antibiotics will not interfere with your test.
