Do steroids affect hiv and std test results?? Please help me ease my mind..

**jamal123** · 07-17-2018, 03:20 PM

3 months ago i had a risky encounter and it ate me up thinking maybe i got hiv and othet stds but i have done all tests and even hiv blood test 12 weeks after encounter and all cam3 negative! I was happy and now my anxiety is thinking maybe i got false negatove because im on juice..

So do steroids mask these test results or am i good!?! I want this stupid stress to end... everything is negative and now im still tripp8ng out even tho no symptoms fks wrong with me

I had the same happen to me a few weeks ago. I went to hospital immediately.

Got a script for truvada and another PrEP exposure drug.

Went to fill script, 70 a pill, and 2 we're needed for 28 days.

So didn't fill script, plus side effects of those drugs are fucked up.

Any way, no steroids are a completely different thing

They are testing for viral load, steroids will not effect those results.

But get tested again in 12cmire weeks then in 6 more months.

Well I'm no expert on the subject, but I don't think one interferes with the other. And false negatives for anything are rare, if they happen at all. False positives can happen, depending on what's being tested, but a negative is usually a negative. If you had a disease, a boost in hormones isn't going to magically make the disease undetectable.

But like couchlockd said, get tested one or two more times in a few months, because something things take a very long time to become detectable in the first place.

Wrap it up next time bro. Stress over something like this can be just as bad if not worse than some diseases. Always do what you can to keep that inner peace. You're probably g2g but don't take any chances. Get a couple more tests.

Yeah man stupid mestake anyways fk it imma just relax and retest a while from now for extra verification but yeah i believe i should be good as test does say 99.6% accurate

We all make stupid mistakes, it's part of life, but hopefully the fear of something like this will act as a deterrent from making similar mistakes in the future.

Dude relax, unless you actually know for a fact she/he is HIV positive the chance of contracting are very slim. Even if your partner is HIV positive, its not so easy to catch on a first encounter, unless sharing syringes and anal stuff is involved.

I know man reasons im tripping is it turns out she does meth (didnt look like she did at all...)Nd when she was giving me head she scraped my dick abit and it bled a lil and i was high washed it off and continued to fk so if she was positve by some chance woudnt that have increased my rate of catching it?

Isn't meth usually smoked not injected?
Unless she is turning tricks for meth or sharing needles, I would not worry too much.
Wrap it up next time . Can't be hitting it raw without feeling confident about her background (even though it's 10 times better)
But like couch said, make sure you get retested in a few months

Roids don't affect it, as everyone has said.
Retest bc it can take up to 6 months to seroconvert. What that means is if you were infected on March 1 the test might not detect antibodies until September 1. It might take 6 months for your body to produce detectable amounts of antibodies

**PeanutbutterDC** · 07-17-2018, 07:55 PM

Also note the fact your sex partner smokes meth does not put you at greater risk. The fact your d!ck was bleeding puts *her* at greater risk. As other members have expressed, HIV isn't easily transmitted via vanilla PIV intercourse, especially female to male.
Also what are they teaching in sex education these days and how do people become sexually active adults without knowing this stuff?

Good info thanks also i just read this on aids help line site quoted;
The only circumstances in which an individual would need to get retested at 6 months is if: they are undergoing invasive therapy such as chemotherapy or PEP, taking medication for Hepatitis C, or they have an autoimmune disorder. You would know if you were undergoing any of these therapies or if you have an autoimmune disorder because they are diagnosed at a young age. If you do not fall under any of these categories then your result at 3 months is conclusive

Doesnt mention steroids so i think its safe to say im good and should be at ease

Hope everything turns out good for you op
In the future to protect yourself just get married that will do away with any chance you having sex again.

They don't pay attention in classes

I posted a reply without finishing reading everyone's response like a neeeeeeeeeeeeerd (someone had already made the point I was going to make)
and there is no delete button. So now you all have to read this post.

**jamal123** · 07-19-2018, 06:52 PM

Just an update i asked.the nurse if juice can delay results and said to not even worry and that im good. At 3 months it is 99.6% conclusive no matter what and theres absolutely no need for me to retest.

God is good and this is a lesson learnt and i wont take it for granted!

I'm glad you spoke with a medical professional and your mind is at ease

**Obs** · 07-19-2018, 11:22 PM

Dbol can show up as aids.
Anadrol can somtimes come back as rectal cancer.

If you are on nandrolone dont even bother.
It will show you have every std in the book.

I never got any sex education in school, it was still taboo stuff at the time (10-15 years ago). As teens we were not supposed to have sex and that was it. Catholic morals, you know.

I attended a Catholic school. Protection was never mentioned ever.

We got taught above unconditional love between a man and woman and all that shite.

Op hope youre alright. Be smarter next time as im sure you know lol
