Brief Answer:
You are free from HIV infection beyond any doubt.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Thanks for posting your query.
You had tested for HIV with 4th generation test and it is a combination of antibody and antigen detection test. It is a highly sensitive and reliable test (nearly 99%). The window period for this test is 6-8 weeks, rarely up to 12 weeks. You had these tests at 2 months, 3 months and also by 24 weeks. All the results indicate that you are free from HIV. Drugs taken by you were all between 3-4 months after the exposure. But the test result would be final and conclusive by 12 weeks itself. Then there is no question of intereferance with the drugs. Moreover the drugs taken by you have no influnce on the formation of antibodies against HIV, in the presence of an infection, so they were in no way affect the HIV report of yours.
Relax and believe that you are absolutely free from HIV 1 and 2 infection.

sir
so it is clear that these medicines never affect HIV test report. It does not matter when these drugs were taken. The nature of these drugs do not have any kind of influence on hiv test report???
