c-reactive protein test Mar 6, 2004 Dr. Frascino, I have a question about HIV and a test for c-reactive protein. My doctor told me that a test for c-reactive protein will show if someone has AIDS. Is this also true for HIV infection? thanks |

 Hi, Two possibilities here: 1. You misunderstood what your doctor said. 2. You need a new doctor. No, C-reactive protein is not a test for HIV/AIDS. Only an HIV-specific test can diagnose HIV/AIDS. Dr. Bob | ||||||||
