Email 634: Interactions Between Medicines and HIV Test
Posted by Pozziepinoy on 8:22 AM
Hello po.
Magtatanong lang. Kung may iniinom akong gamot, makaka apekto ba to sa HIV test results ko? Kung sakali, anong mga gamot ang pwedeng maka apekto sa test results ko?
Kinakabahan kasi ako
Salamat po
Hello.
If ever, what medicines can affect the result? I am just scared.
POZZIEPINOY’S RESPONSE
Hi there.
Thank you for your email.
No medicine can interact with the HIV test. The HIV test is very specific to the HIV antibodies. Also, there are two tests being done to diagnose HIV, first the rapid test and the Western blot test. The first is the screening test but the second test is the confirmatory test which will finally confirm the diagnosis.
I hope I was able to answer your concerns. Feel free to email me again if you have other questions.
Stay healthy,
Pozziepinoy
