Generally you should stay of abx for at least copule of weeks for it not to affect test (more if they have long half life). So its kinda late. It might or might not affect the test, so I would do draw anyway.

I would think the dead bacteria from the treatment should help the immune system produce antibodies. This should help the test show positive, if you have Lyme. It is more complex than all that, but I think you will be OK. Dan

Might as well stop it now in case it makes a difference. -------------------- --Lymetutu-- Opinions, not medical advice!
