HIV Test + p24 antigen affected by Aciclovir?

Bob Frascino, M.D.

    Question

    Dear Doctor, I did a HIV Test + p24 antigen at 100 days and was negative but in that period I was taking Aciclovir 400mg. Did the Aciclovir affected the reliability of that test? Can I consider the "negative" test result as conclusive?

    Thanks so much in advance, Best Regards.
