Hi I was wondering does being asthmatic and having hay fever affect HIV testing? Also is 3 months conclusive in the UK? What test does the NHS use?
Answer
Thank you for your question.
Please follow this link to a previous question about having asthma and going for a HIV test. Having hay fever will have no affect on the test.
