Hi,
Welcome to HCM.

Antibiotics have no action on virus (only on bacteria), and they can not prevent HIV as it is caused by a virus.
Consume excess amount of water. That will relieve your problem. Consume more water, that will bring normal color to your urine. Sometimes the color added to these drugs may be revealed in urine during excretion.
