Topical preparation wont affect HIV result....

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXX,
I understand your concern.
I am Dr. Arun Tank, infectious diseases specialist, answering your query.

Shampoo sebowash contains fluocinolone which is a steroid shampoo while nizoral contains fluconazole which is a antifungal medication.

Shampoo is a topical preparation and dose not absorb in body. Its effect only last topically.

As it is not absorbed directly in to the body, it won't affect your HIV result.

I will be happy to answer your further concern, you can ask me on here or you can ask me on bit.ly/DrArun.
