 Hi. I would not anticipate topical use of betamethasone would affect HIV-antibody test results. Just as an aside, I should mention that chronic use of topical steroids can lead to thinning of the skin and premature wrinkling. You should discuss your need for daily use of betamethasone with a dermatologist. Dr. Bob | ||||||||
