Hi
I was wondering do you need to fast for an HIV test as I have heard you can eat and drink what you want and it wont affect the test results?
Does this apply to alcohol as well?
Answer
Thank you for your question.
You do not need to fast before a HIV test. Eating and drinking including drinking alcohol will not affect your test. For more information please follow this link
Hi Yaala,
Are you HIV positive?
Hello,
I was wondering, I am applying for some official documents that require HIV, urine and blood test. Should I fast before taking these tests together ?
Appreciated,
P.S.: they did not specify which urine test specifically. It just says “urine test”
