HIV testing window and taking meds for weight loss

[scaredanxiety4]

Would taking 60mcg T3 and clenbuterol daily for weight loss affect the HIV testing window? I recently did an oral oraquick test today which would put me at the 6wk and 8wk period after two sexual encounters. I started taking the T3 about 3 days ago and will likely take it for the next two months, not sure when I will start the clenbuterol though.  I plan to retake the oral test at 12 weeks for both encounters, but was wondering if the two substances would affect my immune system enough to make the 3 month window not applicable to my situation. Would I need to then test at 6 months?

"Thank you for addressing that. I guess what I'm really trying to ask is if someone has had an exposure, would those two substances for weight loss, at those doses, for that length of time affect the HIV testing window?"

"If" someone would have had an exposure, but you did not, but if you did then no, the weight loss substances you took would not impede the production of antibodies.
I am convinced that you will test again at 12 weeks, even though you really don't need to since I read your original post and there is nothing I can see that put you at any kind of risk. Your result will again be negative.

You could run the risk of having a false positive though. That is the reason why it is not recommended to test after a non risk event. And you had a non risk event.

you were not at risk, weight loss in HIV is not seen in the early stages and without unprotected sex hiv is almost zero concern, no risk as above

You never had an exposure.
