Can whey protein isolate and collagen supplements delay seroconversion?

Hello again. Cab gym supplements  specifically whey protein and collagen capsules delay seroconversion? And does such intake requires me to wait for 6 month testing? Thank you so much! Waiting for your responses.

Thank you for the response. I was fingered with pre-cum and the finger could contain cuts and therefore a possible blood exposure ( It was dark i could not see it clearly). Also, did some mutual masturbation with exchanged fluids ( we are both men).

I  also read that biotin can affect  blood tests such as hiv (according to FDA). And some sires advised to stop taking supplments days before blood testing. Is this necessary for hiv tests? Thank you very much and  i  hope ill  still get your response.
Below are the only risk for adults:

1. Unprotected vaginal or anal intercourse
2. Sharing needles to inject drugs with other users.

You never had a risk. If you are unable to think rationally, you must evaluate your options to see a therapist. You don't need to test.
Such confidence gives me relief... well for a short time.  I should move on then. But i would like to test at three months nevertheless. Can i still take my whey protein isolate? i registered to a gym to relieve my anxiety ( i have never shared this to anyone). Thank you so much and hoping for your last reply.
You had no risk as you've been told. Since you were never exposed to HIV in the first place, there is nothing for the HIV test to measure. Which means that no supplements that you're taking are going to interfere with a test that is being done for a virus that you were never in contact with previously.
Of course, whey protein isolate isn't very useful.  And if you have any dairy allergies it won't be fun either.  What you want is whey protein concentrate, not isolate.  But that's a different story.
