A member asked:
Suppose i am immune to covid and develop antibodies, would the oraquick hiv test identify the covid antibodies and give a false hiv positive?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No risk, no worry: The HIV and COVID antibodies, and tests for them, are completely independent of one another. Nneither one has any effect on the other. Therefore, having COVID-19 antibodies would not make your HIV test either falsely positive or falsely negative. Don't worry about it.
