Hello, i have tested for both hcv and hiv at 4.5 months post exposure (rapid antibody tests). they were both negative. can hiv window period be delayed by hcv infection?should i test again for hiv?

No need to test for HIV. However, HIV is only one of the STDs. A condom may not protect against HPV, Herpes, LGV, syphilis, pubic lice etc. It would be prudent to see your doctor for an evaluation. Visit this site for information: https://www.cdc.gov/std/default.htm Wish you good health!
