Hiv testing
Are Hiv antigen and antibody combo tests authentic when done after 6years of exposure? I have done it thrice and all the time it came negative.. Can the use of any steroids cause false negative?

Hi
Just relax.
If it is negative after 6 years mean , it is negative. Don't go for unnecessary test again and again.
Steriod doesn't cause this to be negative even after 6 years.
Thanks and regards
