 Hello and thanks for your post. HIV medications don't cause monoclonal protein bands (in urine or blood). The presence of monoclonal bands is concerning for the presence of certain types of malignancies (like lymphoma or multiple myeloma)-- hence the request for the marrow biopsy. I hope things turn out benign for you. BY | ||||||||
