IGA Deficiency

[keith965]

Good morning.  Because of chronic sinusitis I was tested for an IGA deficiency.  I received my results yesterday.  I am indeed IGA deficient.  Would this condition affect hiv antibody production and the accuracy of a rapid fingerstick hiv test?

Thank you for your time

The antibody test search for igm and igg proteins, so has nothing to do with iga antibodies. Anyway seek mental help due to your unwarranted HIV fear.

Your risks were not "low risk", they were "no risk", you need to put this behind you and move on.

Your IgA status would have no affect on an HIV test or the production of antibodies.  You don't need an HIV test.

Yes my risks were low risk; fingering with a wound and receipt of oral sex but i still think my question has value.
