A member asked:

Can u take a hiv test on same day that u have consumed 5 glass of wine ? will it affect results?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No.: Alcohol shouldn't affect the antibody test for HIV. More importantly it would probably help to consume 5 glasses of wine on the day you go for your results. Just don't drive.
