Ive completed LAB HIV 1/2 4th GEN tests. I have done them at 5 weeks, 6 weeks as well as 9 weeks. All negative. Do I need to test one more time at 12 weeks? I accidentally took a gummy with 0.3mg of biotin 3rd test. Worried my results are inaccurate?
More details for questions will taking 600 mcg of biotin daily affect my hiv lab combo test? I read that it will cause false negative? Ive had multiple tests and all are a negative after vaginal sex After 4 months?
Apologies if last HIV question was repeated; I didn't see anything regarding my test being conclusive in my reply, just the explanation of Biotin not interfering with lab tests. Can other medicines or coinfections like HEP C interfere with the test?
Waited 60-65 hours after my biotin dose of 5000- 10000mcg. Did a LAB 4th GEN HIV test at 85 days exposure. Worried the assay biotin threshold is very low, as the labs wouldnt tell me. Do I need to wait up to a week off biotin and redo my test?
Just confirming, that 5000mcg of biotin would not require a washout period for hiv tests? Which I did for 65 hours. Does this apply to all assays doing the 4th Gen LAB tests, or are some assays more vulnerable to interference than others? Thx again.?
