Does being infected with covid make hiv antibody test false negative?!!

[Deadinside19]

I had a negative rapid antibody hiv test post 3 months of my last two possible exposure
The first was march 21
The second was april 24
Got tested rapid test at june 6 negative
July 1 negative
July 18 negative
July 27 negative
Should i move on or test again they keep talkin about delayed seroconversion can covid 19 affect antibody presence?

Hello,  our members have already fully answered your question.

WHAT were your exposures.

[Deadinside19]

My first exposure was condom breakage four months back and and another was masturbation right after touching the outside of the condom 3 months back

[Deadinside19]

Which i got tested for both after the 3 month period

[GuitarRox]

Your tests are conclusively negative so you do not have HIV. Only the condom break was a risk, the other was NOT a risk.  But you do NOT have HIV so time to let the fear go.

Thank you, just so many doubts i guess i should move on, so no covid 19 or hep c co infection and being underweight affect the antibody response. You truly believe i should move on. Im scared i might infect someone else!!! Should i retest at 6 month

[GuitarRox]

We already answered your question.  Your tests are conclusive and you already over tested.  take care

[Deadinside19]

Thank you very much for answering my question. Time to move on(note to self)

[Deadinside19]

Im sorry again but im having hard time to accept my test results, so there is no way covid or hep c or having weak immune system(malnourished) might affect antibody response for hiv, i never had any serious illnesses in my life ...if you please would explain and is there any chance to be positive at 6 months because i ve been a bit ill the past days i had cold like symptoms(runny nose, mild headache,mild fever)clarify please?!!!

" i had cold like symptoms(runny nose, mild headache ,mild fever)"   ----  just like 9 billion other negative people on the planet who get sick once in a while. In fact they are likely in your imagination, since you refer to them as mild.
Move on instead of wasting your life testing for a disease that you are fixated on, or seek therapy because at this point your anxiety is a bit of a mental health issue.

Thanks i just wish you could clarify how covid wont affect hiv test. There aint no therapy where im from (africa). Im stuck up on the covid part cause no matter where i search i wont find any detail explaining it not affecting antibody response to hiv. I know i should move on just a little reassurance if you may please. I hope you clarify so i can truly move on. Maybe im fueling my anxiety by coming with different ideas i guess i will never find 100 percent certainity. Its pretty dificult to have intercourse while being half anxious and half into it. Power of anxiety(sorry for the self talk kinda loosing it)

No, there is no connection between covid-19 and HIV seroconversion.
Three months post exposure test results are conclusive.
You should move on.

What about potential hep c co infection and im also underweight(malnourished), will that have any effect on the antibodg response?
