Hiv test after using a gel with bethametasone.

Hi doctor.
I have a question. It's very important for me.
2 weeks ago a made hiv diagnosis test (4 generation, biomerieux). I made this after 3 years of my last risk situation. The problem is, that i use bethametasone gel for 2 weeks before this test. Can that corticosteroid affect my test. The result was negative.
Im sorry about my english.

No it would have no affect.  A negative result 3 years post is MORE than conclusive.

Unprotected sex..I know that was a risk situation. Did bethametasone gel 0,5mg/1g can afford my negative result?
