Do antidepressants supress the hiv antibody production? Do they work like pep?

[Anurag619]

Dear sir or maam i m on antidepressants after a doubtful exposure. Everything was going well until i came across this article (link is given down). Does this article say taking antidepressants stops the hiv antibodies production? Does it work like pep? If something slowsdown the hiv replication then will there be enough antibodies to detect in hiv test?

No, they do NOT work like PEP. That article has nothing to do with antigens or antibodies, or their detection.

What was your exposure?

Thanks for your response maam.  4 months ago a barbar suddenly used a used rezor on me that was used one minute ago on the person sitting next to me. That person was stranger i dont know him or his status. Because of this article i m suffering from death anxiety and  trying to find out whether i m safe or not. My test came out negative after 3 months.

You didn't have ANY risk for HIV. The only risks for HIV in adults are:
1) Having unprotected (no condom) penetrative anal or vaginal sex, OR
2) Sharing IV drug equipment with other IV drug users.

HIV never infects people because of minor cuts and scrapes that do not require EMERGENCY medical attention. You had zero risk for HIV and you didn't need a test at all.

I m really grateful to you maam. Now i m feeling relief.  Internet has made everything worst.  Maam whatever written in this article do they have any impact on hiv antibody test accuracy or delaying the window period of Hiv ? Should i rely on my test?

You should rely on the fact that you were never at risk for HIV, so you cannot possibly have HIV.
Your test was a waste of time since it would never detect a disease you cannot have.

Thanx alot maam there are some  small
doubt  as this article says ssri slowdowns the replication then  will there be enough antibodies to be detected? Does natural killer cells are the part of antibodies or antibodies response before the natural killer cells?

See a mental health therapist for your hiv fixation. You have to admit that you've got a pretty silly idea that barbers give people hiv, so you can't expect anyone here to take one minute of time to look at articles that you find interesting.
The only reason you find the article interesting is because you aren't logical enough to understand science - even after Curfew pointed out the answer.

Thanks for your response sir . I m thinking to see a therapist.  I m not blaming  barber community it was just a mistake that he used a used rezor. he did not have any intention to cause any trouble
