A member asked:

Is there any interference between a recent covid infection and an hiv test? i would like to take an hiv test soon but am just now recovering from covid?

Your bodies response to Covid would not alter the blood pattern for an HIV test. The immune system responds to separate infections in ways specific to the illness under study.

You have enough problems with COVID, so take your HIV test if feeling up to it. You want to test now to protect your immune system, if positive you can start treatment now, if negative, you can concentrate on recovering from COVID.
