Can sertraline or any other antidepressants delay hiv viral qualitative test results like the rna test at 42 days or antibody test?

No. Antidepressants would not interfere with immune response to HIV or interfere with viral replication. For info: HIV test window periods https://www.cdc.gov/hiv/basics/hiv-testing/test-types.html
