 Hi, The answer to your question was already waiting for you in the archives. Have a look! Briefly, no, topical clobetasol will not affect HIV test results. I would recommend you take an FDA-approved HIV-antibody-screening test (ELISA or equivalent). Thanks for your donation (www.concertedeffort.org). I'll send my good-luck karma in return! Good luck!
