Dear Dr.,

I am writing because I am very concerned. Last week I tested Indeterminate in an ELISa and when retested it came POSITIVE.

I am currently waiting for my Western Blot results.

Did myself a CD4 count. Results where as follows: 295 CD4, 778 CD8 and ratio 0.38.

I got very scared when looking at this numbers.

Last year on or around August I had a rash/fever condition. Doctor said it looked liked something viral, maybe herpes. Lab analisis came back Positive for Influenza. Did not check for HIV.

My last HIV check-up was on Dec 2007 and came negative.

For the past 3 motnhs Ive been having lots of phlegm, runny nose and lately swollen lymph glands around the neck area.

Whenever I dont think about his I feel fine, and when I do get worried I feel hot, and a bit weak.

I know I should wait for my WB results, but I was wondering, is there a possibility of them being negative? I read that influenza vaccine could cause false positive. If i had influenza last year could this have affected my results?

I also had my rounds of Hepatitis B vaccine on 2005.

Any other useful info or tips?

You need to wait for the results of the HIV western blot.
