test to determine who gave it to me
Feb 28, 2010

I've been told there is a test to determine who gave me HIV, is this true and what does it entail?

Response from Dr. Holodniy

Well you would have to have a sample of blood from that person, in order to get their virus strain. Then you have to perform sophisticated testing comparing both virus strains to see how similar or dissimilar they are. This is only done in research or crime laboratories.
