Effect of Vaccines AND PEP on HIV Testing/Seroconversion

I am concerned about the COMBINED/SYNERGISTIC effect of the Hep B boosters, HPV vaccines, flu shot, and PEP. I know that, individually, these don't affect the result of the HIV test. But just like how multiple molecules react with each other to cause a potentially drastic effect, I fear that the vaccinations and my use of PEP could have reacted with each other and potentially give me false negatives. I have tried looking for studies that explores this topic but obviously could not find any, because not everyone (some people might - I don't know) gets the same vaccinations and do PEP, thus fueling even more anxiety. Am I thinking about this right? Aren't my fears warranted?

Is there any form of evidence (either explicit data or implied studies) that would refute the possibility of a combined effect of vaccines and PEP that causes false HIV test results and/or delay seroconversion? If so, I would be very grateful if you reference me to it. I ask this because I feel that my vaccines and PEP makes my case unique and thus not observable for a medical study. Am I thinking about this right?

Are you still worried about the marijuana or when your tooth touched his arm? You keep coming up with more questions here despite not accepting any of the answers to your previous questions so it seems your mind is already made up and won't stop until someone agrees with you, which won't happen.
You already got the advice you need so consider therapy for your HIv phobia, because you have no medical training and need to accept that you aren't capable of disease diagnosis. Successful therapy might help you lead a happier more normal life instead of one where you question the 40 year old science as if you were an expert.

if you print off all of your posts that will help the therapist understand your ideas.
