A member asked:
Could an incident of food poisoning, and continuous stomach troubles affect the window period time frame for testing for hiv?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, probably not: Antibody testing for HIV resides with your immune system (blood), and food poisoning and stomach troubles, diarrhea should not interfere with the testing. You should be all set.
