Is there any relation between autoimmune disease and HIV ?
hi if someone has a autoimmune diseases/disorders like lupus or any kind of autoimmune disorders would it have a reactions in an hiv rapid test I mean I am suspecting that I have an autoimmune disease and I think that i have hiv but when I go for testing for hiv last march(hiv rapid test)it turned out to be negative...what if if someone has autoimmune diseases will it interfere the results of rapid testing and will it cause a false negative results due to underlying sickness.
hi
it is very rare to get false negative test
to confirm do PCR TEST ,it is highly sensitive and u will get right result
as far my opinion is concern ur PCR report will come negative.
