You'd want to use "adverse effect." "Affect" is usually a verb meaning to influence something, whereas "effect" is a noun meaning a result or outcome. In the phrase "adverse effect," we're talking about a negative outcome or consequence, not the act of influencing. Enjoy language choices, they truly 'affect' the 'effect' of your expressions!
