Hiv test result

Hi,

I took an HIV 4th gen test 120 days after exposure and they came back negative. But Im under medication called Febixostat is it going to effect my test results.

Can someone with any info please provide some help.

Thanks

  1. Hi . Your concern is understandable and it is good that you want to make sure you have the right information and getting proper test results. I need to note that we are not medical professionals and, for your protection, cannot give medical advice over the internet. I can tell you that I have seen multiple sources note that because HIV tests look for specific antibodies in the blood most medications will have no effect. That said, I can't vouch for this information and did not find anything on your specific drug. A great source of information on drug interactions can be a pharmacist. Also, this site lists numbers for state HIV hotlines, which may also be able to provide information: https://ryanwhite.hrsa.gov/hiv-care/hotlines. Hope this information helps.
