The vaccine is of no concern regarding HIV testing, and the time period for testing is unchanged.

Hi no I am just asking for person who had unprotected encounter


All I want to know is that he took corona vaccine Sputnik v would that effect the window period of Hiv test ?

From 4 weeks to 12 weeks ?
Unprotected anal, vaginal or oral?
Anal

However the question is   If taking Corona  vaccine   Injection delay Hiv result from 4 to 12 weeks ?  

Does the Sputnik vaccine or any other corona vaccine  Effect the window period  of Hiv testing  

Does it happen ?
I answered you below, but here it is again: The vaccine is of no concern regarding HIV testing, and the time period for testing is unchanged.
1) Alright thanks you mean to say Hiv test will still be accurate at 4 weeks and CONCLUSIVE

And not shift to 12 weeks if one took the corona vaccine injection such as Sputnik v phizer etc ?
