 Hi, Neither the GI infection nor antibiotics affects the HIV antibody test. Sorry to say, that if you had the appropriate confirmatory tests, you're probably positive. At this point, there's much to do, but the first steps are to connect with an experienced and non-judgmental health care provider and get appropriate medical assessments. You indeed are not alone in this, TheBody.com's Resource Centers can provide a lot of information to help you navigate this difficult time. Feel free to write back anytime, BY | ||||||||
