Can anemia or fatigue cause a false postive HIV test?? Feb 12, 2007 Hi Dr.Frascino, I had an exposure that is extremely low risk, or even non-existant. I called an HIV/Aids line and they told me it is not even worth worring about, however I will go and get a test at 3 months, but I was wondering if having anemia or lower then normal iron would affect the result. I don;t know if I am anemic or have low iron, but am extremely fatigued since last summer. Thank you for your response. Julie |

Response from Dr. Frascino
 Hi Julie, Neither anemia nor a low iron count would affect HIV test results. Good luck. Dr. Bob |
