No medical condition can affect your HIV test.
What kind of test did you used? home? lab?

Hiv tests often show false positive. So the lab will not confirm it is hiv unless they follow up with a western blot test

This has to be a false positive for you hopefully. The risk for a woman receiving oral sex is nil

i am really confused right now. Based in this website, a lot of comments and advices says that oral sex is no risk. its a really big question because i dont have anal and vaginal sex but only oral sex i'd just did and i never had any symptoms that related to hiv. Do you have any idea what is the cause of reactive in my first screening test?
