anxiety for testing
Jan 11, 2009

Hi Dr Horwath, I tested negative out to 6 months after my possible exposure but about a week ago I read somewhere that anxiety and depression can lead to a false negative result due to aggamaglobulinemia,,is this true or should I trust me results?I havent ever received chemotherapy, steroids or drugs so I dont have any reasons worrying about this situation but I was crying all the time and had many neurological problems such as low fever.. I am looking forward for your reply!thanks for your time..

Response from Dr. Horwath

Anxiety and depression cannot cause a false negative HIV test.
