Why do some people think that COVID shots can cause false positive HIV tests?
The usual suspects…
COVID Shots Do Not Cause False Positive HIV Tests
Anti-vaccine influencers, like Steve Kirsch, have hopefully helped you realize that anytime they try to blame something on COVID vaccines, there is a good bet that it is COVID disease that is the real culprit.
That’s especially easy to see in the case of false positive 4th generation HIV tests, which Steve Kirsch, Peter McCullough, and others have been trying to blame on COVID vaccines.
Instead of COVID vaccines, studies have shown that these false positive 4th generation HIV tests are the result of COVID infections!
Why?
“The mechanism for this is unknown but may reflect

a cross-reaction with the fourth-generation’s Ag component
in acute COVID-19 infection and, to a lesser degree, Ab cross-
reactivity.”

But how do you get such a cross reaction between the COVID virus and HIV?
“Zhang et al confirmed that 4 insertions unique to the 2019 novel coronavirus spike protein that are part of the receptor binding site of the 2019 novel coronavirus share similarities with HIV-1 proteins as well, suggesting potential cross-reactivity between Ags of the 2 viruses [10]. Zhang et al showed that these insertions were short, 6–8 amino acid segments and considered the relationship to HIV-1 as “coincidental” and not specific, shared by other viruses. However, due to the nature of the test, an exact amino acid sequence homology to HIV is not required to yield an FP test result, which requires only enough antigenic similarity for a detectable amount of false signal. In fact, the absence of strict homology and the short length may help to explain the idiopathic occurrence of FP HIV results in some individuals in our cohort.”

The English translation?
“The response to COVID-19 infection likely produces a SARS-CoV-2 peptide or protein that mimics the p24 protein of HIV, causing an FP HIV test result.”

In other words, once again, it’s COVID and not the COVID shot.
