Can an abortion cause false positive hiv results?
I had a talk with my girlfriend she told me that in May this year she had an abortion, before the abortion they drew blood from her later on I told her like last week and check on what her results were because they didn`t tell her, however when she got there the dr. tolid her that they check for any disease in the blood before they carry out such an act(abortion) and if they are positive they tell you and if they are negative they don`t tell you anything, and they nurse later on told her that they didn`t find anything in her blood and if they did, they would have told her
Now me and her confused, she says that was out of the window period before the abortion as she had spent 4 months without sex and after the abortion the only person she had sex with was me and am negative. Given the situation how long does she have to wait to do a test for hiv after the abortion to get acurate results. Because at the moment we stopped having sex, Do you think an abortion can cause false postives after 3 and a half months from the abortion?

You guys are not going to believe this. My girlfriend yesterday went and for an antibody test and it came negative. Am so happy, I really thank you guys for supporting and being with me even when my friends could not. Who could ever imagine that after the 2 tests she did 3 months ago which came positive would now come back negative. I really thank God.
