About 5 months ago i did something foolish and may have been exposed to HIV (possible saliva other fluids in small cut) i was told this was a very low risk and to test at 3 months, i did test at 4/6/8/13/18 weeks after exposure with the INSTI rapid hiv test.
Now i usually would have trusted those last two results however, when i took my week 13th/14ish week test i was on some antibiotics or naproxen and some other gastro medicine so im not sure if that would altered the results of the test.
That thought bugged me so i tested at 18 weeks again however i had totally forgotten that i had just received a series of several rabies vaccines just weeks and days prior to this test...now im scared my 18th week hiv test might have had false results due to all of those vaccines messing with my immune system :/
anyone know if series of rabies shots would cause false negative or delay hiv window?
