hemoglobin and HIV Aug 11, 2012 hi I am from Singapore. I need to underwent a pre employment medical check up which consists of hemoglobin test.. I am still unsure of my HIV status.. However I had read alot articles even on thebody website that a low hemoglobin level means ur immune systems is weak which could be HIV positive.. Because I am pretty sure I do not lack of iron and no kidney illness... Is it true that a low hemoglobin result could be a indicator of HIV positive?? I am worried... Pls answer my question as soon as possible.. Appreciate!! |

 Hello, I don't usually answer the "Do I have HIV?" questions on this forum- this is a space for people who are trying to make important decisions about their HIV medications. Please understand that. There are a thousand things that can cause a low iron or hemoglobin level. HIV is only one of them. If you think that you might have HIV, the ONLY way to know this is to have a HIV test.
