A member asked:
On 10 day 5 mg predisone 36 pills wanted to know can i go do my 4th gen duo hiv test on these meds or do i need to wait for accurate results i'm on my fifth day of prednisone?

No: Would be helpful to know more about your history, but in a person with relatively normally functioning immune system, 5mg prednisone would not decrease circulating antibody levels (or virus antigen levels). Test will be accurate on this regimen.
