Effects of HPV on testing Apr 7, 2009 Doctor Frascino, I read that there are certain types of HPV that have been know to delay HIV seroconversion. I have HPV, so how long do I have to wait for a conclusive result? Please and thank you. |

 Hi, Where did you read that? Perhaps in "The Journal of Irreproducible Results???" Whoever wrote it was misinformed. HPV infection does not affect the body's ability to make specific anti-HIV antibodies. Nor does it affect the duration of the window period or affect the result of any HIV diagnostic screening or monitoring tests, OK? Dr. Bob | ||||||||
