Given the results you presented, you do not have HIV or Hep C infection. Visit this site for HIV window period and explore the same site for Hep C window period. HIV test window periods https://www.cdc.gov/hiv/basics/hiv-testing/test-types.html

There are no medical conditions (or medications) that cause unreliable or delayed HIV AgAb test results. None: it's an urban myth! Although some rreports suggest hepatitis C may do so, that's rare if it happens at all -- and your test results show you don't have hep C anyway. Your HIV AgAb test proves you do not have HIV: no further worry, and no neeed for additional testing.

A 23-year-old female asked:
If someone had an acute HIV infection, would Re-exposure to the same viral strain slow their seroconversion/production of IGM/IGG antibodies? Or delay detectable P24 in the blood? Could CMV/HIV co-infection also cause delay in antibody production?

Would REMICADE affect my negative HIV 4th gen combo test at 9 weeks after exposure? I heard it's immunosuppressive drug. I tested RNA at 9.7 weeks. I'm so worried about seroconversion and even hiv-2(since p24 is not detectable in hiv2 infection).

Hi Dr. CMV/HCV co-infection with HIV delays seroconversion. How common is this? Would 4th Gen HIV test detect P24 antigen in this case, at Day 30 post exposure even if there is a delayed antibody response? Thanks?

Update to last question. My hiv 4th gen and hepatitis panel was done at 23 weeks after exposure. 7 rapid hiv tests and the final 4th generation. Can I trust that I dont have delayed seroconversion and can move on from hiv and hepatitis?
