Dear Doctor, I Went For STD Testing For HIV, HBSag, , Hepatitis C, VDRL Through Rapid Kid Test Banana Stem Juice Is Good DeToxifying Juice For Humans. Does This Detoxification Will Affect Any Antibody Production Or Does It Have Any Effect On Virus When I Was Having A Day Before The Test?
Question: Dear Doctor,
I went for STD testing for HIV, HBSag, Hepatitis C, VDRL through Rapid Kid test.
My worry is
1) I was in Anxiety Medicines Fluvoxin CR 50 and Lonazep 0.25 daily.
Will this medicines give False Negative Test Result?
2) I had Banana Stem juice a day before the test. Will this make my test to come negative? I read in the internet that Banana Stem Juice is good DeToxifying juice for Humans. Does this Detoxification will affect any antibody production or does it have any effect on virus when i was having a day before the test.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I am Dr Kakkar (Dermatologist and Venereologist). I have noted your concern.
None of these would have any effect on the screening test result. Neither the anti anxiety drugs nor the banana stem juice.

Dear Doctor,
Thank you for your answer for my concern.
1) Does the Banana Stem Juice will not work on any STDs? or will they have any supresive character on the any of STDs i mentioned above?
Im little confused because it has property of De-Toxing. De-Toxing and Suppressing Virus or Bacteria is different.
If you give me a clear answer it will relive my anxiety.
2) I tested because when i had sex with a unknown women. She had condom. I used it. After sex only i saw it was expired before 1.5 years. I used 2. I dint see any noticeable breakage. When expired condoms broke will it be noticeable or un noticeable holes also be present.
3) When i sucked her nipple my anxiety is making me to think that i have swallowed her blood during nipple sucking. Does blood ingestion through mouth will lead to any std infection?
Im sorry to ask anxiety driven questions but to relieve my anxiety please answer in detail.
thank you for your great work.

Brief Answer:
Regarding STDs
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Banana stem juice is not a cure for any of the STDs. There is no evidence of that till now. Moreover, banana stem juice even if suppressive on anecdotal evidence, it would anyways not weaken the body's immune system. Since, most STD screening tests detect circulating antibodies which form as part of the immune response to the infection, so, the STDs screening tests would definitely be reliable and not altered by banana stem juice.
Protected sex is safe as far as risk of HIV is concerned. However, certain STDs like genital herpes, genital warts can still be transmitted despite protected sex. Secondly, if there were no visible breaks in the condom then I think you dont need to worry.
Nipple sucking is safe. There is no risk of STDs through nipple sucking. There is no blood involved in nipplr sucking. Moreover, STDs are not transmitted even if you swallow a little blood as the GI mucosa does not provide direct access to the blood stream and moreover none of the microbes would be able to survive in the gastric acid.
Hope I have answered your query.
let me know if you need any more assistance
Thanks.

Dear Doctor,
Thanks for your valuable reply.
Final question.
I tested almost 1.5 years after the incident.
1)Even if we take anti viral drugs just one day and one week before going to test i think we have enough and detectable antibodies?
2) Viral suppressive medicine for one day will not suppress the virus to undetectable level?
3) For example if virus count is 50000 copies in one day how many virus will get suppressed in one day medicine?
4) If virus gets suppressed antibody level will also decrease?
5) If the virus gets suppressed immediately the antibody level also decreases?

Brief Answer:
Regarding STDs
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Antibody levels would not be affected by antiviral medications. There are specific oral antivirals for HBV, HCV, HIV which are available only on prescription and after confirmation of diagnosis. As far as I am aware all of your screening tests are negative. So, I would like to know which antivirals are you refering too?

Dear Doctor,
Thank you for your information.
I asked you everything in general not about me.
Does the Antibody level decreases when taken Anti Viral Mediactions (HIV, Hep B, HepC)
1) If we take HIV medicines then the Virus gets suppressed during the virus suppression time Antibody level in blood decreases or same level of antibody produced during the initial infection will remain in the blood?
Similarly for Hep B and Hep C im asking doctor.
2) Viral suppressive medicine (HIV, Hep B, HepC) for one day will not suppress the virus to undetectable level?
3) For example if virus count (HIV, Hep B, HepC) is 50000 copies how many virus will get suppressed in one day medicine?
Please answer my 3 questions separately.
Thank u so much for your great service. Questions arise when a person is in Anxiety. So plz dont mistake me.

Regarding STDs
Detailed Answer:
Thank you.
Antibodies are detectable even when on antiviral medications. Morever, antibody based tests are not quantitative i.e they do not measure antibody levels.
Similarly, a patient on ART would have detectable antibodies.
I don't think just one day of antiviral medication would suppress the virus to undetectable levels. I don't think it would have any effect on the viral count.
Hope I have answered your query.
