Hey doc. So I’ve been having some worries about my hiv test results after learning that biotin may interfere and give a false negative. So I tested negative 2 weeks, 4 weeks, a little over 5 weeks, 45 days, and again recently at almost 10 weeks after exposure . They were all fourth gen ag/ab tests. I was ready to put it behind me until I read that biotin can interfere with test results. I didn’t think anything of it at first. But then I checked my multivitamin and it has 60 mcg of biotin in it. I didn’t take the supplement 24 hours before the most recent 10 weeks after exposure test. Do I need to test again and not take my multivitamin 72 hours before or am I good because it was a low dose.

Welcome back, but sorry you found it necessary.---

Appreciate it doc. Since I generally eat a diet that could raise my biotin levels, should I get an rna test instead? At this point 11 weeks away from exposure, would the rna test be valid, or is the fourth gen better?

Diet cannot raise biotin levels to an amount that interferes with HVI testing.---

Alright good deal. Thanks doc.

I hope the discussion has been helpful. Best wishes and stay safe.---
