Response from Dr. Frascino
 Hello, Nope. Your HIV tests are negative. Your CBC shows a slight decrease in hemoglobin. Your doctor is doing the appropriate workup looking for iron deficiency and other common causes. Stop worrying. It's not HIV. Follow up with your doctor and remember safer sex for all future encounters. Stay well, Dr. Bob |
