Temptationwaits Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 Hi. Does being on prep affect hiv tests? Just wondering if if might suppress levels of the virus to the extent you could get a false negative result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rawfuckr Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 In the latest case of PrEP seroconversion, the guy kept testing negative on his 3rd gen HIV antibody testing while his PCR was +. 4th gen eventually became poz. So yes, it does seem like PrEP may delay a poz on antibody tests, specially older 3rd generation. Ask your provider to do regular PCR or 4th gen to catch anything asap.
