Meds will affect the test?

[smithben985]

Good Day to all experts here. Im planning to have a hepa b&c and hiv test next month for my yearly check up..And im suffering from palpitation for the last two weeks. im scared that the meds will affect the hepa and hiv test next month thats why im not taking the meds.

Heres the meds

1. Fenogal 200 Mg (LIDOSE) Fenofibrate 200 mg
2. Astatin Atorvastation 10 mg
3. Hydroxyethylrutoside Varemoid Forte

Please guide me if this medicine will affect the test?

Given you are negative for hepatitis a & b there is a vaccine available which gives lifetime immunity and future testing for those viruses would no longer be necessary.  There is no vaccine for HCV and HIV.

If you have been instructed to take any medications for conditions your doctor has diagnosed and hence prescribed these for.it would be  well advised to takethem as directed .

These medications will have no bearing on HCV.HBV or HIV  detection in your blood by testing ,either positively or negatively

Best...

I encourage you to contact your doctor about resuming your medication if need be. Ask about the steps you should follow prior to your lab appointment.

Unfortunately your medications are unlikely to change the results of having one of these potentially life-threatening diseases.

Hepatitis B and C and HIV/AIDS are infectious diseases that happen when harmful germs get into your body and make you ill.

Hepatitis B is is transmitted through contact with the blood or other body fluids of an infected person.

Hepatitis C is spread by contact with the blood of an infected person.

HIV is spread through contact in a variety of ways.
