Hiv testing

2020-06-22 05:47:57
My last possible exposure was 6years back. I have no symptoms. But after 6years I have done a 4th generation CMIA antigen and antibody test which is non reactive. But while I did the test I was using corticosteroid nasal spray to treat allergic rhinitis for a continuous period of 5months. Can this corticosteroid nasal spray to treat allergic rhinitis for a continuous period of 5months cause immunosuppression and reduce the HIV antibodies so that it cannot be detected by HIV antibody test and cause a false negative?

Hi If your report is negative Its fine As topical steroids wont interfere with the test as such But what type of exposure u had? As there are many other diseases like hepatitis b, c that are blood borne So you should get tested for that too And also for other sexually transmitted diseases
