valtrax affecting the accuracy of the result

hello dr. I was wondering if taking valtrex will affect the accuracy a negative hiv test maybe if a person was inffected while taking a pill a day. Can taking valtrax since it's an antivirol maybe stop it from reproducing and then when we stop the medication it can show?
